What AI tools have you found useful?
-
I know the reputation that AI has on Lemmy, however I've found that some users (like myself) have found that LLMs can be useful tools.
What are fellow AI users using these tools for? Furthermore, what models are you using that find the most useful?
The one that the other department tried, and which failed to meet expectations dramatically. Gave management a healthy dose of reality on "AI".

The main point of the post is to ask a question. Apparently that is something people disagree with. Maybe they don’t like what the question implies.
You say in your post 'BTW, if you wonder about the downvotes, it’s because [email protected] isn’t a safe space for AI related discussions. '
A safe space is where we can debate, disagree or downvote each other. If you receive death threats, harrassment, stalking and so on, this is definitely not a safe space.
People disliking Generative stuff have their reasons for it.

Supermaven code autocomplete in vscode is really nice

I chat with llm's to help me remember shit I already know, or to change the tone of stuff I write but thats about it.

Have you heard the stuff from the new v4 model? The vocals are so much clearer and the instrumentation gets pretty varied (ymmv depending on how specific you get with the styles though)
I have -- I had high hopes for it, but the vocals are still pretty bad. They all have this metallic, tinny quality, liked they're subtly vocoded or being sung into those little toy spring microphones for kids. It's a constant reminder that it's artificial and just completely takes me out if it.

My CRM system at work has what called "Genius AI" integrated into it. When customer service reps receive calls that require site visits the AI auto fills the work ticket using the phone conversation adds in contact name and numbers and even puts a brief description of what service they require. The AI also transcribes our calls into text to be able to refer back to or get caught up on a job when someone is out sick. It wasnt Iife changing it wasnt forced but as a simple aid it makes life a bit easier.

Shit. Where I come from, people don't need AI for that. They just hang a Trump flag in the back of their truck and roll coal through town.
Why not both ¯\(ツ)/¯ ?

Thank you for the response, and I can totally relate.
I like that GPT can help me brainstorm and then I take the reigns from there. Not everything in my career is crystal clear and more often than not, my boss is asking me for solutions because he doesn't already have answers.
I find that things like GPT really help as jumping off points that help to get the conversation started in real life situations.

I use NovelAI to play dynamic RPG stories for my personal use, and have several world settings all prepped with characters, items, some basic rolling rules (which don't always work). Whatever mood I am in there is a setting to explore or a plot line to develop. I don't plan on publishing them or profiting off of them in any way other than my own amusement. NovelAI also has an image generator explicitly not trained on licensed material that I use to make images to focus on while playing the RPGs
I use copilot to walk me through quests in MMOs where the guides are vague or expecting a certain degree of game familiarity, as well as to estimate cooking time for meats, and reorganizing my resume to match AI screeners
I used to use DungeonAI for the same RPG purposes but they violated customer privacy so they can eat all the dicks
I like this. It's a fun use situation that can enhance creativity as well as perform as an entertainment platform.

Do you enjoy providing data companies with your personal porn preferences?
To browse Pornhub with cookies on or with cookies off? That is the question

If we are talking chatbots I see them as another level of abstraction to search and is useful but I have concerns on the energy use. Other uses I have encountered is just sorta a convenience thing. Where it can do a bunch of things that individual software can do but at a one stop shop. I have not directly been involved in other aspects but im aware how they are baked into things like facial recognition and tracking and such.
Dont use AI chat as a replacement for search except on popular subjects with broad consensus. Which unfortunately is when you generally don't need it.

its fine as long as it gives references to check out. I mean its not fine because of the energy usage but if that is solved I would use it for search. again as long as it tells me sources.

I've found LLMs in general helpful for coding specifically when I have to use tools or languages that I only have a passing familiarity with.
In my life I've used Gemini for some fitness coaching alongside other sources of information and it has been quite helpful and motivating.
What type of device do you use Gemini on for fitness?
...and I'm sorry, so sorry, but "can Gemini fitness dick"?

Honestly I'm part of the problem a little bit.
In my hobby project I used GitHub copilot, to help me ramp up on unfamiliar tech. I was integrating three unfamiliar platforms in an unfamiliar program language, and it helped expose the APIs and language features I didn't know about. It was almost like a tutorial; it'd make some code that was kinda broken, but fixing it would introduce me to new language features and API resources that would help me. Which was nice because I struggle to just read API specs.
I've also used it when on my d&d campaign to create images of new settings. It just a 3 player weekly game so it's hard to justify paying an artist for a rush job. Not great, I know. I hope the furry community has more backbone than I do, because they're singlehandedly keeping the illustration industry afloat at this point.

I use ChatGPT every single day, and I find it both extremely useful and entertaining.
I mainly use it to help edit longer messages, bounce ideas around, and share random thoughts I know my friends wouldn’t be interested in. Honestly, it also has pretty much replaced Google for me.
I basically think of it as a friend who’s really knowledgeable across a wide range of topics, excellent at writing, and far more civil than most people I run into online - but who’s also a bit delusional at times and occasionally talks out of their ass, which is why I can’t ever fully trust it. That said, it’s still a great first stop when I’m trying to solve a problem.
I think that pretty much describes my own perceived relationship. I know it's a tool, but it's a conversational tool that can produce results faster than I can, even though I need to proof read it's work before I accept it.

If what you want is sources, a regular Google search will do a better job if it's a popular subject.
Chatgpt and it's kin will be inexplicably creative in its choice of sources, and in its summary thereof. And in the sources themselves sometimes.
If it's something you care to get right, just skip AI.
If it's meaningless, then it's harmless in its potential inaccuracy -

Not using it is like turning off the little snipets search engines do nowadays and going back to just clicking an each and every link. The problem is people just taking the response as gospel with no critical thought.

The only thing that comes to mind is I wanted to make a shell script that moved every file in a directory to another directory, but one at a time, slowly, and I didn't want to learn sh from scratch, so I asked an LLM for a script that would do it.
The script didn't work, but I was able to figure out how to fix it better than write it from scratch.
I felt bad for the environment I was destroying, and I would never pay for this shit.
