AI has become a popular source for advice on professional matters, meal ideas, and travel recommendations. As the new season kicks off, Daily Mail.com reached out to renowned AI systems for practical suggestions.
Research indicates that by the end of the first week, 23% of Americans have already abandoned their New Year’s resolutions, with the number rising to 43% by January 31st.
The primary issue lies in individuals setting overly ambitious goals. For the year 2024, Google Bard, Microsoft Bing, and ChatGPT have curated a list of 10 realistic yet innovative resolutions.
To foster stronger connections with others, they propose activities such as hosting themed dinner parties, incorporating vegan meals weekly for health benefits, and embarking on a digital detox.
One of the suggestions is to organize a themed dinner party every quarter. Google’s Bard recommends unleashing your creativity by designing unique culinary experiences for your friends, ranging from medieval feasts to sci-fi banquets. This initiative not only strengthens cultural bonds but also provides a relaxing social setting.
Exploring your family history is another resolution put forth by the AI systems. Delve into your ancestry, trace your lineage, unearth forgotten stories, and establish connections with distant relatives.
Incorporating plant-based meals into your diet once a week is advised as a fun way to explore new culinary horizons while promoting better health and environmental sustainability.
Maintaining a one-sentence journal, where you jot down daily reflections or moments of gratitude, is a simple yet effective practice recommended by ChatGPT.
Taking a break from online activities is also encouraged. Dedicate time to a screen-free day for a digital cleanse, allowing yourself to engage in activities like reading, contemplation, or enjoying nature.
Another unconventional suggestion is to write and send a physical letter to a friend or family member every week, fostering meaningful connections through traditional correspondence.
Conquering a childhood fear is proposed as a unique resolution. Face and overcome a long-standing phobia, whether it be spiders, public speaking, roller coasters, or the dark.
Considering financial goals, Bing suggests focusing on improving your financial situation through budgeting, saving, or exploring stock trading opportunities.
Lastly, Bard recommends an intriguing resolution of training your memory to recall the day of the week for any given date, a skill that is sure to impress your friends and spark curiosity.
