There are a few uses where it genuinely speeds up editing/insertion into contracts and warns of you of red flags/riders that might open you up to unintended liability. BUT the software is $$$$ and you generally need a law degree before you even need a tool like that. For those that are constantly up to their chins in legal shit, it can be helpful. I’m not, thankfully.

Porn has been ruined by AI too. Jokes aside it’s really a boner killer.

Idk who faps to that whack shit but it’s trying so hard to make everything look baby silk smooth with unrealistic bodies most likely stolen from hentai.

I use LLMs for multiple things, and it’s useful for things that are easy to validate. E.g. when you’re trying to find or learn about something, but don’t know the right terminology or keywords to put into a search engine. I also use it for some coding tasks. It works OK for getting customized usage examples for libraries, languages, and frameworks you may not be familiar with (but will sometimes use old APIs or just hallucinate APIs that don’t exist). It works OK for things like “translation” tasks; such as converting a MySQL query to a PostGres query. I tried out GitHub CoPilot for a while, but found that it would sometimes introduce subtle bugs that I would initially overlook, so I don’t use it anymore. I’ve had to create some graphics, and am not at all an artist, but was able to use transmission1111, ControlNet, Stable Diffusion, and Gimp to get usable results (an artist would obviously be much better though). RemBG and works pretty well for isolating the subject of an image and removing the background too. Image upsampling, DLSS, DTS Neural X, plant identification apps, the blind-spot warnings in my car, image stabilization, and stuff like that are pretty useful too.

I made an AI song for my mom’s birthday on Suno and she loved it so much she cried. So that was nice.

I don’t like how people are using it to just replace artists. It would be find if it’s just to automate some things, like, “AI can tell you when ___ needs to be replaced,” but it feels more like it’s being used as a stick to workers. Like, “Keep acting up and I’ll replace you with dun dun dun AI!”

to copy my own comment from another similar thread:

I’m an idiot with no marketable skills. I put boxes on shelves for a living. I want to be an artist, a musician, a programmer, an author. I am so bad at all of these, and between having a full time job, a significant other, and several neglected hobbies, I don’t have time to learn to get better at something I suck at. So I cheat. If I want art done, I could commission a real artist, or for the cost of one image I could pay for dalle and have as many images as I want (sure, none of them will be quite what I want but they’ll all be at least good). I could hire a programmer, or I could have chatgpt whip up a script for me since I’m already paying for it anyway since I want access to dalle for my art stuff. Since I have chatgpt anyway, I might as well use it to help flesh out my lore for the book I’ll never write. I haven’t found a good solution for music.

I have in my brain a vision for a thing that is so fucking cool (to me), and nobody else can see it. I need to get it out of my brain, and the only way to do that is to actualize it into reality. I don’t have the skills necessary to do it myself, and I don’t have the money to convince anyone else to help me do it. generative AI is the only way I’m going to be able to make this work. Sure, I wish that the creators of the content that were stolen from to train the ai’s were fairly compensated. I’d be ok with my chatgpt subscription cost going up a few dollars if that meant real living artists got paid, I’m poor but I’m not broke.

These are the opinions of an idiot with no marketable skills.

Have you seen neuro sama?

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.

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.

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.

It’s funny to see Godzilla in weird contexts.

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

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

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:

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.

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.

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.
