Do you feel that use of generative AI and LLMs is ever justifiable? If so, when and where?. Of not, why not? (lemmy.world)

You can take "justifiable" to mean whatever you feel it means in this context. e.g. Morally, artistically, environmentally, etc.

If it truly helps you, I think that might be enough for me. I say truly because you need to use an AI with responsibility to not ruin yourself. Like, don't let it think for you. Don't trust everything it says.

I use it a lot when applying for jobs, something I've struggled with on and off for 12 years. I suck and writing the cover letter and CV. It takes me 2-3 days to update a cover letter for a job because it takes so much energy. With AI that is down to 1-2 days.

It's also great for explaning things in other words of if you're trying to look up something that's hard to search for, I don't have any examples tho.

I used to use it to help me formulate scentences since english isn't my first language. Now I instead use Kagi Translate.
