ChatGPT has earned some negative press this year from Sam Altman's leadership shakeup to potentially harmful AI developments but people keep using the generative tool. The industry leading bot can carry out an array of tasks, from planning out your weekly schedule to writing you a detailed resume.

Other generative tools on the list, like Google's Bard and Quillbot, have similar capabilities as they can summarize and paraphrase text, but haven't yet garnered the same popularity as Open AI's chatbot. And tools like Character.ai and Novel.ai are used by many as virtual companions.

If you're only using AI for entertainment purposes, you may be missing out on the opportunity to make money without a fancy job or college degree, according to Susan Gonzales, founder and CEO of AIandYou, a nonprofit that teaches AI skills to people from marginalized communities.

Say you're a freelancer or a small business owner. AI tools can "help improve [your] business, improve inventory management, analyze customer behavior or gain competitive intelligence," Gonzales told CNBC Make It in July. "Small businesses can use AI tools to target their marketing and advertising efforts more effectively ... They can identify new revenue opportunities."

And if you're looking for a side gig, like tutoring, AI can help you do that, too.

"There are many online learning opportunities to understand how AI works, which then could help [someone] possibly become an AI tutor, or to do some AI training to pass it on to the next generation," Gonzales said. "The wonderful thing today is all the information is out there."
