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?

    I don’t think there’s many consumer use cases for things like LLMs but highly focused, specialized models seem useful. Like protein folding, identifying promising medication, or finding patterns in giant scientific datasets.

      I use it to help give me ideas for DND character building and campaigns. I used it to help me write a closing poem for my character who sacrificed himself for the greater good at the end of a long 2 year run. It gave me the scaffold and then I added some details. It generated my latest character picture based upon some criteria.

      Otherwise, it gave me some recommendations on how to flavor up a dish the other day. Again I used it but added my own flair.

      I asked it a question to help me the remember a movie title based upon some criteria (tip of my tongue style) it nailed it spot on.

      I’ll tell you one place I hated it today. The Hardee’s drive through line. Robot voice drives me up the wall.

      I use it to help me write emails at work pretty regularly. I have pretty awful anxiety and it can take me a while to make sure my wording is correct. I don’t like using it, not really, but would I rather waste 4 hours of my time typing up an email to all the bosses that doesn’t sound stupid AF or would I rather ask for help and edit what it gives me instead.

      I know people use it to summarize policy or to brainstorm or to come up with very rough drafts.

      I understand the connotations of using it, but I would definitely not say there’s zero consumer use case for it at all.
