I hope not, I use it a lot for quickly programming answers and prototypes and for theory on my actuarial science MBA.
I find you can just run local models for that. For example, I've been using gpt4all with a the phind model and it works reasonably well
How much computer power they need? My pc is pretty old :/
If you have a GPU, it should work, but will take longer to generate answers than an online service likely.
I use it all the time for work especially for long documents and formatting technical documentation. It's all but eliminated my removed work. A lot of people are sour on AI because "it's not going to deliver on generative AI etc etc" but it doesn't matter. It's super useful and we've really only scratched the surface of what it can be used for.
I also thing we just need to find use cases where it is working.
While it will not solve everything, it did solve some things. Like you have found, I have used it for generating simple artwork for internal documents, that would never get design funding (even if it would I would have spent much more time dealing with designer), rewriting sentences so it sounds better, grammar check, quick search engine, enciclopedia, copywriting some non important texts...
I would pay few bucks per month if it wasn't free. I gave it to grammarly and barely use it.
So I guess next step is just reducing cost of running those models, which is not that hard as we can see by open source space.
Is 1) the fact that an LLM can be indistinguishable from your original thought and 2) an MBA (lmfao) supposed to be impressive?
I don't think that person is bragging, just saying why it's useful to them
