I've found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?

I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.

I find ChatGPT useful in getting my server to work (since I'm pretty new with Linux)

Other than that, I check in on how local image models are doing around once every couple of months. I would say you can achieve some cool stuff with it, but not really any unusual stuff.

I ask it a lot of technical questions that are broad and non-specific. It helps to quickly get a gauge on what is the correct way to implement something.

I was really psyched about AI when it first hit my news feed. Now I'm less than impressed. Most generalist AI platforms get things wrong constantly. Having an LLM trained on specific things, like math or science or maybe law, I could see being useful.

We're at the "AI everything" phase instead of the "AI what makes sense" phase.

I used to spend 1 month a year where all I did was write performance reports on people I supervise. Now I put the facts in let AI write the first draft, do some editing and I'm done in a week.

Porn has been ruined by AI too. Jokes aside it's really a boner killer.

Idk who faps to that whack shit but it's trying so hard to make everything look baby silk smooth with unrealistic bodies most likely stolen from hentai.

It's funny to see Godzilla in weird contexts.

No, I don't think that's a particularly good reason for it all, either.

Oh, I had some of those last year on some lemmy thread somewhere.

For me throwing a graph in and telling it to create a table from it and stuff like that is really super helpful, since I often have to do this, and by hand it's a very tedious job. Sorting and cleaning tables and translating stuff is super handy and I use it quite often. But other then that I don't care.

I use chatgpt to make questions for me when my teachers refuse to give me anything to practice on before final exams. Even then, I'd take literally anything they'd give over whatever AI can generate

Yes, but they're the same sort of people that think Elon Musk is a genius.

People I talk to find it useful for front-end development

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I'll use it to write scripts for repetitive tasks at my job. I never learned or know code so it's actually super helpful in that sense but that isn't really what OP is asking i don't think. I use AI by going on to their platform and initiating the interaction. I disable every form of AI I am capable of disabling/uninstalling. Every integrated sense of AI has been obnoxious.

Im suprisingly on board for ai art. It does allow you to create whatewer you want without having the technical ability to do so. ( For example of you want a sick wallpaper ) Ot significantly lowers the floor as far as creating anything art related goes.

Internet search, e.g. Google, is now functionally almost completely useless. I use ChatGPT basically as a Google replacement.

I will still search for stuff - I use Kagi - but give up after half a dozen results if none of them are relevant and go to ChatGPT instead. Often, ChatGPT is more helpful. But sometimes it just makes a bunch of nonsense up.

ChatGPT is great for when you need to find something where you kind of know at least the vague shape of what you’re expecting and you have enough expertise to filter out any of the lies it makes up.

Text generation is Frozen Yogurt now.

Noticeably worse, but you can have so much more.

[-] mlegstrong@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

I used it a decent amount at my last job to write test reports that had a lot of similar text with minor changes.
I also use it for dnd to help me quickly make the outlines of side characters & flesh out my world.
