The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the contact. I went to therapy for that and it helped. But the LLM advancements of the recent years have been a game changer.

Now I plop everything into ChatGPT, cleaning out personal information as much as possible, and let the machine write. Often I'll make some adjustments but just having a starting point has changed my life.

So, my answer, I use it all the fucking time.

They become an unnecessary middle man who adds nothing of use other than copying and pasting responses.

This, I hate it so much when people take it on themselves to insert Chat GPT responses into social media threads. If I wanted to know what the LLM has to say I would have just asked the LLM.

It's the modern equivalent of pasting links to Wikipedia pages without reading them, except that because you're being direct with your question you have a higher confidence that what you're parroting makes some sort of sense.

links to Wikipedia

Once I was trying to make small talk irl with someone and asked her how many official languages were in her country of origin, and she stone cold looked it up on Wikipedia and started reading aloud to me from it at great length.

The kicker was I happened to already know about it, I just thought it might be something she would like to talk about from her perspective as an emigrant.

On the flipside, I'm kind of annoyed by posts cluttering up places like asklemmy that could be trivially answered by asking an AI (or even just a simple search engine). I can understand the opinion-type questions or the ones with a social aspect to them that you can reasonably want an actual human to give you advice on (like this one), but nowadays the purely factual stuff is mostly a solved problem. So when those get asked anyway I'm often sorely tempted to copy and paste an AI answer simply as a https://letmegooglethat.com/ style passive aggressive rebuke.

Fortunately my inner asshole is well chained. I don't release him for such trivialities. :)
