Basically nothing. I’m good at using search engines and the porn feels boringly samey from it so the only use case left for me is making meme images, which is rare at best.

I don’t use it for daily tasks. I’ve been tinkering around with local LLMs for recreation. Roleplay, being my dungeon master in a text adventure. Telling it to be my “waifu”. Or generating amateur short stories. At some time I’d like to practice my foreign language skills with it.

I haven’t had good success with tasks that rely on “correctness” or factual information. However sometimes I have it draft an email for me or come up with an argumentation for a text that I’m writing. That happens every other week, not daily. And I generously edit and restructure it afterwards or just incorporate some of the paragraphs into my final result.

I don’t word good and ChatGPT bro helps me use my nouns.

That’s only kind of a joke, I have anomic aphasia and use ChatGPT to help me find the words when I lose them. I used to use Google but it doesn’t really work anymore.

I use LLM bots mostly

• as websearch - e.g. “list sites containing growing conditions for pepper plants”;
• for practical ideas - e.g. “suggest me a savoury spice mix containing ginger”

I never use them for the info itself. It’s foolish to trust a system that behaves like a specially irrational assumer. (It makes shit up, it has the verbal intelligence of a potato, and fails to follow simple logic.)

I’m not using any Pro version.

For reference: nowadays I’m using ChatGPT 3.5 and Claude 1.2, both through DuckDuckGo. I used Gemini a fair bit, but ditched it - not just for privacy, but because Gemini’s “tone” rubs me off the wrong way.

Replaced forums like Stack for me both could give me incorrect information, one doesn’t care how dumb my questions are.

My job pays from premium, and it’s been useful clearing up certain issues I’ve had with tutorials for the current language I’m learning. In an IDE CO-Pilot can get a bit in the way and its suggestions aren’t as good as they once were, but I’ve got the settings down to where it’s a fancy spell check and synergises well vim motions to bang out some lines.

It’s only replaced the basic interactions I would have had without having to wait for responses or having a thread ignored.

I’ve tried paid versions of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. I am currently using Gemini, and it is working reasonably well for me.

I mostly use it to replace searches. I haven’t used Google in years, but mainly relied on DuckDuckGo until SEO made it less useful. My secondary use case is for programming. I tend to jump around to a lot of different languages and frameworks, and it’s hugely helpful to get sample code describing what I want to do when I don’t know the syntax.

Once in a great while, I will have it rewrite something for me. That is mostly for inspiration if I want to change the tone of something I wrote (then I’ll edit). I think that all of the LLMs suck at writing.

Nothing, I’m not a loser

As an SEO - hell no. Those that did got penalized by the latest algorithm update from Google.

As a DM? Yes! It helped me write a nice poem for a bard that will hopefully give my players some context to what they will be encountering as they move further in my campaign.

Nothing, I’m creative.

I once used AI to make a mock up of a t shirt design I had in my head just for curiosity, it made exactly what I wanted and now I don’t feel like it’s my design anymore. Who knows what artists it took from. Even after redrawing I lost appreciation for it. Haven’t touch AI since minus some bored conversations with dead celebrity models.

I don’t trust the search results to be accurate, its desire to please the user makes it unreliable. When it comes to image generation it takes from artists. AI is great for menial time consuming tasks like say cropping out the background of an image for example but because of the reasons above I don’t tend to use it all that much, and my respect for it is quite low.

I’m using local models. Why pay somebody else or hand them my data?

• Sometimes you need to search for something and it’s impossible because of SEO, however you word it. A LLM won’t necessarily give you a useful answer, but it’ll at least take your query at face value, and usually tell you some context around your question that’ll make web search easier, should you decide to look further.
• Sometimes you need to troubleshoot something unobvious, and using a local LLM is the most straightforward option.
• Using a LLM in scripts adds a semantic layer to whatever you’re trying to automate: you can process a large number of small files in a way that’s hard to script, as it depends on what’s inside.
• Some put together a LLM, a speech-to-text model, a text-to-speech model and function calling to make an assistant that can do something you tell it without touching your computer. Sounds like plenty of work to make it work together, but I may try that later.
• Some use RAG to query large amounts of information. I think it’s a hopeless struggle, and the real solution is an architecture other than a variation of Transformer/SSM: it should address real-time learning, long-term memory and agency properly.
• Some use LLMs as editor-integrated coding assistants. Never tried anything like that yet (I do ask coding questions sometimes though), but I’m going to at some point. The 8B version of LLaMA 3 should be good and quick enough.

I stopped using perplexity only used it briefly. Chatgpt? Open ai specifically?

Lots of things.

To generate AI friend conversational ai character back story’s. Bc sometimes they have to be long include lots of info.

To summarize reddit posts asking for advice. You know sometimes ppl make them longer then need be. It summarizes them for me when I’m lazy

Reframe verbiage

Just a few

I use Perplexity or the Google one formerly known as Bard for when I want specific information but I don’t want to do multiple searches plus reading several sites to find the answer.

I use Bing to generate pictures to entertain myself. Sometimes I post them.

I’m not.

I use the Bingilator to create images for invites to my weekly donut meetings.
