I find ChatGPT useful in getting my server to work (since I'm pretty new with Linux)
Other than that, I check in on how local image models are doing around once every couple of months. I would say you can achieve some cool stuff with it, but not really any unusual stuff.
Kitboga has used AI (STT, LLMs, and TTS) to waste the time of Scammers.
There are AI tools being used to develop new cures which will benefit everyone.
There are AI tools being used to help discover new planets.
I use DLSS for gaming.
I run a lot of my own local AI models for various reasons. Whisper - for Audio Transcriptions/Translations.
Different Diffusion Models (SD or Flux) - for some quick visuals to recap a D&D session.
Tesseract OCR - to scan an image and extract any text that it can find (makes it easy to pull out text from any image and make it searchable).
Local LLMs (Llama, Mixtral) for brainstorming ideas, reformatting text, etc. It's great for getting started with certain subjects/topics, as long as I verify everything that it says.
For fun I'll probably setup GLaDOS like what was done here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1csnexs/local_glados_now_running_on_windows_11_rtx_2060/
Text generation is Frozen Yogurt now.
Noticeably worse, but you can have so much more.
As a college student, best experience I've had is just generating stories that you can easily tell are AI written by use of specific language.
Second best was when I tried taking pokemon from older generations, taking their BST, telling an AI (perplexity) that I wanna give them gen 5 BST, providing a spreadsheet with all gen 5 pokemon w/BST and each individual stat, and using whatever it gives me as a baseline for making BST edits.
Otherwise, I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of AI since I don't have many uses for it myself.
Nope
i use it to summarize text sometimes, does it count?
The applications of what you call ai are absolutely limitless. But to be clear what you're calling "AI" isn't AI in terms of what you might want it to be what you're referring to are large language models or LLM's. Which aren't ai, not yet.
It's short sighted statements like this that really get my blood boiling.
If humanity actually achieves artificial intelligence it'll be the equivalent of the printing press or agriculture. It'll be like inventing the superconductor or micro transistors all over again. Our world will completely change for the better.
If your interactions with these llms have been negative, I can only assume that you have a strong bias against this type of technology and have simply not used it in a way that's applicable for you.
I personally use llms pretty much daily in my life and they have been nothing but an excellent tool.
There'd been a few cases where it was helpful. But yeah, I mostly agree
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.
