          From restaurants to hospitals to law offices, artificial intelligence is helping workers with their day-to-day tasks, even as it still makes plenty of mistakes.

          The Times spoke with 21 people about how they are using A.I. at work. A restaurant owner uses ChatGPT to pick wines; a psychotherapist harnesses the technology to write therapy plans; and a music teacher turns to an A.I. chatbot to (more politely) let students know that they didn’t make the cut for a competitive high school jazz program.
