They help me make better searches. I use ChatGPT to get a good idea of what better to search for based on my inquiry. It tells me what I am looking for, and then just use a search engine based on that.

Also, taught me some python and appscript. Currently learning and testing its capabilities in JavaScript teaching. And, yes I test out everything it gives me. It is best to output small blocks of code and lice it together. Hoping for the best and then, 3 years later finally create an app lol because that is on my end. Still working on an organization app. 80 percent accurate on following complete directions in this case.

I havent really used any in a serious manner. I did install DeepSeek on my PC to try out. Its pretty fun to play with, but still seems to have issues. For example, I was using it to create bread recipes and fine tune proportions to get the exact amount of dough I need. I found that its math was way off, and would give me wildly different results even when asked the same question and given the same requirements.

Im not sure how ChatGPT compares, as I dont have access to it and Im not really willing to pay for it.

Honestly, my favorite use case for ChatGPT is as an Internet search engine. Google has become so shitty that I outsource it's main job lol. I just tell ChatGPT to send me reputable sources as links for the query, and I skip the bullshit.

It's also not a bad way to generate SEO friendly descriptions for eBay listings, if you have a lot to list and are lazy. You can move a lot faster and get better results than using the default ai that site has. It would be ideal to personally write everything and be an SEO expert, but you are mostly guiding people to see the photos and just need the metadata perks of the jargon.

Writing emails, brainstorming

Website building

Might be worth checking !LocalLLaMA@sh.itjust.works which can have tons of useful inputs

It's really good in statistics, but you need to know enough statistics to know what to ask. Just today I needed to write a PyStan script for doing some MCMC and it's helped me to write it, structure the data and understand the results of the experiment. Then, it confirmed my suspension that the chosen model was not very good for my data and tomorrow I'm trying with another probability distribution.
