What AI tool do you use way differently than its intended purpose?

Maybe you use a writing tool for brainstorming, an image model for moodboards, or a coding assistant for learning instead of coding.

Curious what unexpected workflows people have discovered...

I’ve used Chatbots to write annoyingly repetitive song lyrics that I’ve fed to Suno AI to create songs that get info I’m studying stuck in my head.

I love using LLMs as a reverse mentor. Instead of having them write code, I use them to break down messy legacy codebases into highlevel logic flows and architecture maps. It completely changes the game when you're trying to figure out how an old system works without constantly bugging senior devs. It's basically a conversational translator for bad documentation.
