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.

It's funny to see Godzilla in weird contexts.

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

I use it all the time, to translate, explain, give guides, write code, do repetitive menial tasks, fix code, understand others code.

I get the hatred for it, but I use it almost every day.

I agree, but I'm the spirit of the question, do you work in a corporate environment?

[-] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 50 minutes ago

Unfortunately. But I also use my corpo AI accounts for personal stuff too, because it's immune to being used for training.

To me it's glorified autocomplete. I see LLM as a potencial way of drastically lowering barrier of entry to coding. But I'm at a skill level that coercing a chatbot into writing code is a hiderance. What I need is good documentation and good IDE statical analysis.

I'm still waiting on a good, IDE integrated, local model that would be capable of more that autompleting a line of code. I want it to generate the boiler plate parts of code and get out of my way of solving problems.

What I don't want, is a fucking chatbot.

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.

[-] girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

There are plenty of uses for it. There are also plenty of bad implementations that don't use it in a way that helps anyone.

We're going through an overhyped period currently but we'll see actual uses in a few years once the dust settles. About 10 years ago, a similar thing happened with AI vision and now everyone has filters they can use on cameras and face detection. We'll reach another plateau until the next tech hype comes about.

I used it the other day to spit out a ~150 line python script. It worked flawlessly on the first try.

I don’t know python.

In the sense that a forum I am on has had a huge amount of fun doing very silly things with Godzilla, yes.

https://forums.mst3k.com/t/dall-e-fun-with-an-ai/24697/8237

It's best to start at the bottom. We didn't start out with Godzilla when the thread began and it also began in 2022.

8220 posts, the majority Godzilla-related. I haven't done too many lately, but here's a few recent ones:

Tits, on an egg-laying reptile?

I'm not completely sure this is a real photo

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

How dare you mock a widow in mourning!

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Its funny to fuck around with, in the same way its funny ask a bible bot for Judges 15-16 and watching the bot get autobanned for saying ass.

thats about all it is though, a stupid silly thing to fuck around with.

Shouldnt be a production/human replacement thing.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 14 points 8 hours ago

There's a handful of actual good use-cases. For example, Spotify has a new playlist generator that's actually pretty good. You give it a bunch of terms and it creates a playlist of songs from those terms. It's just crunching a bunch of data to analyze similarities with words. That's what it's made for.

It's not intelligence. It's a data crunching tool to find correlations. Anyone treating it like intelligence will create nothing more than garbage.

[-] NaNin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

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

[-] arrakark@10291998.xyz 3 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 hours ago

Well I use AI to generate Happy Birthday images with the persons name in the greetings.

that's gotta count, right?

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

I use ChatGpt to ask programming questions, it’s not always correct but neither is Stack Overflow nowadays. At least it will point me in the right direction.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 8 points 5 hours ago

ChatGPT actually explains the code and can answer questions about it and doesn't make snarky comments about how your question is a duplicate of sixteen other posts which kind of intersect to do what you want but not in a clean way.

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

At least it won’t get angry at you for asking a question

[-] tee9000@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I use it to explain dumber questions i have about math and coding concepts.

I use it to write scripts.

I used it to interpret my rental lease and calculate penalties and see whats covered by my landlord vs myself.

[-] HeyMrDeadMan@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Erotic Roleplay. You're welcome?

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

It's funny you mention this, but the erotic roleplay aspect of llms is a thriving business generating millions of dollars every month now in subscription costs.

We've barely even scratching the surface of what these models can do and they're increasing in usage at an exponential rate.

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.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 hours ago

Depends on what you mean by "like" lol

It's nice to generate images of settings for my d&d campaign.
It's nice that I can replace Google/Siri with something I run and control locally, for controlling my home.

But those aren't really important things

[-] peppers_ghost@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

Like any new tool it is being abused to hurt the working class by the wealthy. It does have useful aspects if used properly but it's pretty overshadowed by all the awful uses imo

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 5 hours ago

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

[-] ReCursing@lemmings.world 1 points 4 hours ago

no, musk is a twit
