    Digital payments are a great option for shopping on your phone or ordering food, but also for paying friends or family. Whether you need to pay a friend for a service or want to split a bill, using apps like Apple Pay and Venmo is super convenient. But how often do you use such apps to send money to friends? I don't use these apps super often since not everyone I know uses them, but I definitely prefer them over getting cash out or writing a check.

    Chatbots can answer (or attempt to answer) all kinds of questions, but you can also give them statements to see their response. Some people turn to ChatGPT (or other AI bots) for unorthodox methods, like venting stress when you're ticked off. Have you ever done this? If so, were you happy with the response? I've never done this, and don't think I ever would. I presume the bot would give a generic response that's not helpful, plus it can't truly understand how you're feeling.
