Started blogging about my serious and deliberate usage of AI tools - ChatGPT and Gemini - in April 2025; Limited serious use of CoPilot AI chat from May 2025

I was curious to know when I started blogging about my usage of AI tools. A couple of days back I searched on my active blogs and found that it was in April 2025 which is close to a year ago that I first started blogging about my usage of ChatGPT and Gemini which were the first AI tools that I used in a deliberate way.

I think even before April 2025, I would have accepted some CoPilot code completion suggestions in VSCode and also perhaps tried out some chat messages with it related to some syntax errors. But those were not deliberate and sustained sessions. Also I would have tried out ChatGPT and Gemini prior to April 2025 but not to the extent that I wanted to mention that in my blogs.

My first blog entry about CoPilot usage is in May 2025. Note that I have used CoPilot only in the context of software development work.

I think I can conclude that it was from April 2025 or perhaps a month or two earlier, that I started seriously and deliberately using AI tools (for example, having a long chat exchange to understand a particular topic), with ChatGPT and Gemini being the main tools. I also started using CoPilot seriously and deliberately from May 2025 but IFIRC I found that its chat messages quota was very limited and reset only at monthly periods. So I did not use CoPilot so much for chat messages.

Used 'sort:-published ChatGPT' and 'sort:-published Gemini' dashboard search on Sw dev blog - https://raviswdev.blogspot.com/ - followed by manual inspection to locate first post about using these AI tools (some earlier posts simply have links to later posts about Gemini and ChatGPT usage, which I filtered out).

==============

From the above data, I think I can say that I started blogging about my usage of AI tools in April 2025 which is close to a year ago. ChatGPT and Gemini were, IFIRC, the only AI tools I used actively then though I may have used code completion and perhaps even some chat messages feature of CoPilot while doing VSCode software development work.

Note that I have used CoPilot only in the context of software development work. I confirmed that my main spiritual blog has no mention of CoPilot as of now.
