Only interaction I usually have with llms is when my cookies get cleared and my search result has the AI overview thing turned on. It never makes it through to actually presenting a result before I turn it off, though. Hate that shit being on ecosia. Really defeats the purported mission purpose, imo.

I played with a free image generator back when they first came out, found them fairly unimpressive, and moved on.

I’ll wait until they can proc gen vr environments without causing nausea. That’s about the only use I personally have for what presently passes for ai.

I used to ask it a question here or there if I couldn’t find the answer anywhere else, but I wasn’t too satisfied with what I got. I tried to use it for coding but I kept getting funky answers so I stopped using it for that too.

The last time I used it, I was doing a repair job and asked it a question I essentially knew the answer to because I wanted to verify a step. It gave me an answer that was not only wrong, but legitimately straight up dangerous. I haven’t used it since.

nothing.

To experiment and just use it out of curiousity. I know it’s capabilities and being able to manage, manipulate and change any writing, content or data I send it … but that’s the problem … I don’t trust any of their damned systems to have access to any amount of my personal data or information.

You shouldn’t

I used it to help me with my hobby projects. I have an idea, and it tells me what parts to buy with what spec (like a 3000 rpm gearmotor, a 1:10 ratio gearbox, a camshaft, etc.) which I have no idea where to even start without it and without mechanical engineering skills.

I don’t really use LLMs.

Today at work I was working on someone with something, and we realized our list of tuples was backwards. He was like “oh I’ll have chatgpt fix it”

I was like, [(x[1], x[0]) for x in stuff]. Took about zero seconds. Delegating to the chatbot might have felt impressive if it got it right, but it was also such a trivial task I wouldn’t think to use it.

1. Conjugation/declension tables. Way faster than checking Wiktionary. Specially if starting with something else than the dictionary form.
2. If I’m having a hard time smoothly translating a sentence, I might throw it into ChatGPT to see how it does it. Perhaps it outputs a synonym I didn’t consider.
3. Proofreading.

When I need to come across as someone from marketing or HR. The silliness works out in my favor then

As a discipline challenge for when I search something. Do my eyes go up to the sparkle answer? Will I resist if they try to? Would I even expand the prompt? Will I cross-reference?
Sure, if I’m gonna stick around at the article anyway, it might be easy to resist the clanker’s reply, and in bold-highlighted airing dates for Pluribus. That information is also too important to risk getting wrong anyway.
But if it’s just an innocuous activity like foraging mushrooms, I might get weak and just sneak a little peak at sparkle’s advice.

When Google/DDG fails. Then inevitably it fails too, but at least it begs for forgiveness.

Vibe coding silly Python projects.

I don’t use it.

I don’t use GPT. It’s disgusting, and its dataset is nothing more than unethical. Look at what Sam Altman did to one of his employees after he blew the whistle. That dude was murdered, and it was on Sam’s Khazarian hands.

Nothing. ChatGPT is terrible.
