blackred/Getty Images Sometimes it can be hard to get all your reading done, especially with ADHD diagnoses on the rise. If you’re tasked with a school or work project and you’re pressed for time (or focus), artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots like ChatGPT can help summarize long articles, research papers, and books to make them a bit more accessible.  Also: You can now talk to ChatGPT on the phone – no Wi-Fi needed ChatGPT has come a long way from its launch in 2022, especially since it got web browsing last spring.
