Made a product search script that sorts eBay listings based on total per unit price (including shipping). Good for finding the cheapest multi-pack, lot, bundle, etc. by unit. Using Qwen 3 4B and feeding it a single listing at a time to parse.

So you'll copy and paste the URL for an eBay listing and it'll go out and fetch the price and quantity and calculate unit price?

Close.. I'll download the HTML for an eBay search results page, and then a script splits it up into separate entries and feeds each listing's HTML chunk to the LLM. I don't bother with individual listing pages. (This falls down on some edge cases like listings that include multiple variants via a pull-down selection only found on the individual listing page. Maybe a future area of improvement.)

Legitimately, no. I tried to use it to write code and the code it wrote was dog shit. I tried to use it to write an article and the article it wrote was dog shit. I tried to use it to generate a logo and the logo it generated was both dog shit and raster graphic, so I wouldn’t even have been able to use it.
It’s good at answering some simple things, but sometimes even gets that wrong. It’s like an extremely confident but undeniably stupid friend.
Oh, actually it did do something right. I asked it to help flesh out an idea and turn it into an outline, and it was pretty good at that. So I guess for going from idea to outline and maybe outline to first draft, it’s ok.

Good for gaining an outside perspective/insight on an argument, discussion, or other form of communication between people. I fed it my friend’s and their ex’s text conversation to it (with permission), and it was able to point out emotional manipulation in the text when asked neutrally about it:
Please analyze this conversation between A and B and tell me what you think of their motivations and character in this conversation. Is there gaslighting? Emotional manipulation? Signs of an abusive communication style? Etc. Or is this an example of a healthy communication?
It is essential not to ask a leading question that frames A or B in particular as the bad or the good guy. For best results, ask neutral questions.
It would have been quite useful for my friend to have this when they were in that relationship. It may be able to spot abusive behaviors from your partner before you and your rose-colored glasses can.
Obvious disclaimers about believing anything it says are obvious. But having an outside perspective analyze your own behavior is useful.
