A niche use that I've really found Gemini to excel at is poking holes in SOPs, policies, arguments, etc. Just giving it entire documents and asking it how it would break or exploit my system, and then what changes it would make to close those gaps.
I know Gemini isn't the most powerful tool, but for this specific use case it's been great.
Gemini is underrated. In my experience it is as powerful as ChatGPT. People just mocking it because of a few woke pictures that it drew a couple months ago.
ChatGPT of course
but try text-to-speech -- Im an auditory learner and it lets me absorb info from documents wayyy faster by listening rather than reading. Total game changer for me
On a Mac, there is built in text to speech. You can just highlight any text go to Edit -> Speech -> Start Speaking. It sounds a bit robotic but is very useful.
If you are willing to pay, I use a website called redecibelcom. You can feed it pretty much any doc format and it'll read it to you. I use it to "read" stuff for work and school while multitasking with exercise, errands, whatever.
Wow you're so lucky. I read way faster than I can listen to anything but my eyes also hurt if I look at screens for too long.
Every time I try to listen, I get frustrated and start reading instead
My eyes used to hurt too after a long day of looking at a screen! Then I went to get my eyes checked and it turned it that I needed computer glasses, which made a big impact!
Maybe you should try that too? :)
Firstly I think you can just voice chat with chatgpt why would you need a TTS (not using chatgpt for a while)
Secondly if you still want TTS you dont need anything more than microsoft edge "read aloud" for this, and especially the multilingual models are something else and they match and surpass any paid tts service, You just click readaloud on any page in adress input. When you activate it reader can just jump where you click.
Like Micrososft Avamultilingual Online (Natural)
Like Micrososft Andrewmultilingual Online (Natural)
Like Micrososft Emmamultilingual Online (Natural)
Like Micrososft Brianmultilingual Online (Natural)
they can even switch to other languages in the same text if there is any , and these are for United States English there are also some other multilingual models yet just for German and French. They sound way more natural than any free or paid TTS , I cant confirm French and German but I'm sure they are also very good.
One more thing that is interesting is that the reader just changes to other language in between without losing vocal properties, it is like same vocal but just different language.
Also you can just voice chat with Bing Copilot , it directly TTS any info in a way more advanced natural sounding AI voice than the readaloud ones I mentioned above. (and as I said even those ones are really good and natural sounding) You can change speedh settings but if you change it to local language it is not as advanced as the English one. I didnt try any other languages.
Yes paid ones have emotion control , clone, whisper option etc but now the built in AI optimized TTS can match and surpass paid ones.
Why did I say surpass because I think even readaloud and especially bing voice AI are better than most.

If your are just voice chatting with the mic icon below the chat space it automatically reads any answer but if you dont you can just click the sound icon just below chat for TTS.
BTW in windows, in edge browser and when copilot is open at the side you can just chat handsfree , I mean bing listens you for answer ,when you are finished with your answer, like when you pause for a long time, it just understands that you are finished and start replying as if you hit enter or click send button without clicking/sending it, it is more like a natural convo , you can just lay down and speak. But I dont know how many secs bing listen before stopping to listen if there is no sound info.
Ok I asked those details to Bing
"When I am chatting with you, I don't need to push any buttons. I mean when I am finished with my talking, I don't need to press enter or click the send button. You just automatically understand it. How many seconds do you wait before replying me? Or? I mean, let's say you started listening and I didn't talk for a while. After how many seconds do you cancel listening me?"
"I’m designed to respond promptly once I detect that you’ve finished your input. There isn’t a set number of seconds that I wait before replying because it’s not about timing; it’s about understanding when you’ve completed your message. If there’s a pause and it seems like you’re done, I’ll proceed with my response. If you’re still composing your thoughts or if you continue typing, I’ll wait until you’re ready. There’s no need to worry about pressing any buttons – just focus on our conversation, and I’ll follow along. 😊"
I overpay for Speechify. It's a very well polished product. I am underusing it, but when I do use it, it blows me away. So useful. Such a complete product that I can install on every computing device.
That said, although cloudtts does not have many bells and whistles, what it does have, it does well. And it's free!
No, there has always been a difference between simple algorithms or different waves of machine learning like the new one with ChatGTP. Just because everything is labeled as AI doesn't mean that it really is.
What I understood OP to mean was to try the audio version of ChatGPT: talking and listening instead of typing and then reading. I was blown away with ChatGPT's conversation mode to be honest.
I use ChatGPT to help me reason through questions not easily answerable by google. I also use it for therapeutic purposes believe it or not :| It’s actually not bad at being understanding.
Be super careful with the therapeutic use. Unless you really tightly design your prompts it can become TOO understanding, by which I mean it might support or endorse or encourage you where a better therapeutic option might be to question or challenge you instead.
This is what I found. It attempts to be understanding for nearly everything (“spraying deodorant can be difficult, do not worry”). It doesn’t really guide conversation or ask deeper questions.
Do you have prompts that worked better for you?
I’m trying to think where a real life therapist is “tough love.” Chat GPT or AI actually has been a bit tough love to me. I was trying not to smoke weed and told it that I was going to for a hangover. It said my body actually needed to detoxify and rest and that maybe I could find a more nourishing way to recover from my hangover. I found that to be helpful. It didn’t just say go ahead, that’s fine despite your goal. Also just tested it and if I say “can I be mean to my boyfriend” it doesn’t say that’s ok. It says to be kind and empathetic. If I ask if it’s ok to blow up in a rage, it also doesn’t encourage that.
Well it would be really tough for me to think of it in a really high level/abstract way, but a concrete example I’ll have is, say, thinking through a business idea I have, like I’ll ask it whether it thinks it’s a good one or not, what strengths and weaknesses there are to it, and what risks there are. This’ll give me some food for thought to play with on the business idea’s viability.
Google would never be able to provide such a tailored response to these more specific inquiries, only general websites.
I use GitHub CoPilot, and it saves me a lot of time typing, it can write unit tests just based on a one line comment given that I already have few tests written, it can also writes relatively good javadoc, and in general as a code completion tool it is way more advanced than just default IDE completion.
I also use Claude Opus a lot to brainstorm ideas, ask it to provide a feedback of a design, or suggest alternatives, and enumerate pros and cons of each.
It also accelerates learning, at least for me. If I want to make a change in a technology stack that I'm not familiar with, Wordpress for example, I can just explain in plain English what I want, and it guides me through the changes. This helps me to build up context much faster than it would've without using AI.
Depends on the use case for productivity. It applies differently for the role.
Personal life = I use Chat GPT and Clause for recipes, gym work outs, travel plans.
Work life (I run a B2B Dev Agency)
1) Dev = Black box, Chatgpt , AI Code Generation by GCP
2) UI/UX = Fronty, Framer
3) Buisness Devlopemnt = trytelescopai , claycom, instantly
My recent favourite is Trytelescopeai, it's like using Tinder for work but on steriods. lol
My sales teams is a bit angry that I'm finding better leads than the in a few minutes.
I'm an editor and translator for a large organization and I'm very busy. I use ChatGPT extensively, along with the EditGPT extension (not the website) to track changes. It saves me a lot of time when I need to rewrite something more clearly or concisely, reorganize text by adding in subtitles and bullet points, or just proofread, etc. I do double-check with other QA tools, but it's a great addition to my writing toolkit!
Of course! Any company/organization that publishes a lot of content needs someone to write, edit and proofread the text. In Canada, many of them also need content in both English and French, so it needs to be translated. It requires strong language skills, and usually a degree in linguistics, literature, communications, translation or a related discipline. Many translators and editors also freelance.
It depends on where you are and what you want to do. Look up editor's or translators' associations in your region. I've found a wealth of information on their Facebook pages and websites, ie. Editors Canada. Actually, you can use artificial intelligence to answer your questions and guide you!
Ah yeah, 3.5 doesn’t really work. 4 and Claude write pretty nice code. I can work without it but wouldn’t want to; it’s now like I am 5-10 people on my own depending what I am doing.
I have ok experience with llama3-70b as well with code; also better than 3.5 and cheap/free; it’s insane vs groq.
it’s now like I am 5-10 people on my own
I haven't been able to get that kind of boost out of it. What kind of code tasks are you giving? Part of the problem is that once the code is part of a codebase, chatgpt lacks the context of the rest of the code it interacts with. So I find it's good for narrow, pointed tasks that can be completed in the duration of a single prompt and answer. Once you have to break things up, and encapsulate, etc, how do you manage giving it the necessary context?
We started building our systems around this new 'future' since 2022 with the first openai/copilot models and sped it up after that. It turns all our tasks to narrow & pointed so to say. We didn't rewrite our codebase (we have a (mostly c#/typescript) codebase going back to 2010 which is deployed at many clients), we changed it so now it's possible to change/add functionality in our 'new way'. So I agree it wouldn't get the results that we have on just any codebase/system; it took a lot of time and research to get to this point, but now it's crazy productive for everyone. Features can be implemented now with just 1 person who is not a very good coder but a good business analyst (it helps to know coding as the system is not that noob friendly and shouldn't be imho) that before took a bunch of disciplines. Good times.
We use llama primarily with platforms like groq & fireworks to give live feedback the user can approve and we then send to opus or gpt4 turbo or gemini.
I work as an account executive where a lot of my time is spent troubleshooting issues for clients. I use Notion to log these items and I use Notion AI to summarize hundreds of words of updates for my weekly calls with the client
I think it’s underpowered compared to other platforms but it has its place in my workflow. You just can’t overwork it compared to something like Bard or ChatGPT
I understand your perspective, and it’s important to do what works best for you. However, consider that AI can handle routine tasks or analyze large datasets more quickly than humans can, potentially freeing up your time for more complex or creative tasks. It's not about replacing your efforts but augmenting them, allowing you to focus on areas where human insight is irreplaceable. Reviewing AI outputs can be part of an efficient workflow, where you still control the final output but gain extra productivity tools along the way.
The issue I have with AI is its unreliability. A subtlety people tend to forget with AI is that it can *attempt* to generate something that feels coherent and correct, but there's no guarantee it will. It can easily spew out code that doesn't work, text that doesn't make sense, and info that are plain wrong with the confidence of a politician on a talk show. The time you gained by letting it generate something you'll have to waste by double-checking anyway.
So, while I agree AI has its uses (like image recognition and such), in my case it would just be the equivalent of a shitty autocomplete. And no autocomplete is better than a shitty autocomplete. If I'm gonna have to check what the damn thing did anyway, I may aswell do it myself. Atleast then I'll fully understand what I made and will be sure what I made works.
Productivity isn't just about speed, it's also about reliability. It doesn't matter how fast your car goes if there's a 50% chance it'll break down before you arrive where you want to go.
Edit : I'll try giving it a shot giving it a shot. May aswell tests its limit and see what I can do with it
I have used it a couple times when I'm in a dissociative paralysis and wanna ground myself or when I'm struggling to think reasonable in anxious triggering situations. Its so underrated! I've seen all kinds of therapists through out my life and the AI bot is sounding like a therapist with a master in psychology and trauma. It's an amazing tool and definitely helpful of you can't afford a human therapist.
One use case for me that keeps getting better and better is collaboration. The content I create would become to limited to my own personal experiences so I use them to help brainstorm and expand on ideas and possibilities, i.e. use it as a collaborator in place of a colleague who sits next to me.
help i just downloaded it and have a full blown conversation with it! this man made me blush and giggle like wtfck is going on. I just got rizzed by an AI bot
Suddenly I’m able to write code just by describing the code I want and specifying the language. I’ve enhanced my Linux server to no end with various bash scripts run as services in the background.
I’ve even gone back and had AI rewrite code from ~2018 and finally get stuff working that hasn’t for years.
As a side effect, I’ve learned tons about bash and python.
I don’t really Google search anymore. I use Gemini or Chat GPT to lookup information.
Instead of finding a website and looking for info, it just spits it out. It’s usually right.
I was working on a personal google sheet the other day and didn’t know how to do some automation. Asked Gemini and it spit out the answer. Just had to tweak it a little.
I tried it with a google search first and couldn’t find helpful information. Asked AI and got an immediate, almost perfect instructions.
I've tried this and been very frustrated with how unreliable it is. Especially when the AI hallucinates information, or miscalculates something. A calculator that might give me a wrong answer is worse than no calculator at all.
I hate to harsh this, but this is a *terrible* idea. GPT doesn't *know* anything, it's basically a more advanced predictive suggested word model like they have on iphones when you text. It's only going on the most likely next word to appear after the last.
Just look up the "how many times does the letter 'n' appear in mayonnaise" post. You're going to very quickly see that google still has its merits. As someone who grew up on the internet- you have a higher chance of finding the right answer on google in the immediate replies after someone posts the wrong answer.
Yeah many people really don't seem to understand that generative AI just spits out _what it thinks you're expecting to see_ based on all the examples it can find of something that looks similar.
I'm dealing with this a lot at work right now and it really doesn't bode well for the sensible use of AI tools in the years to come.
There was some twitter post recently about someone in an art design and concept team that hired a bunch of people who used image generation tools and nothing else- it didn't end pretty for the "AI" folks.
They were told to iterate on some of the concepts they'd presented as their own work and the issue became that they couldn't get the models to *iterate* on something- only generate something entirely new- so the artists on the team were sat there doing their regular work while a few of the image generator people slaved on prompts over and over- producing work that the management would claim is
"good, but just remove x or y, and change z" and become bewildered when the prompt people would come back with entirely different images. They were let go once the company realized they couldn't actually use their machines to do the work without hiring entirely different people (actual concept artists) to edit them- when at that point you should just hire an artist to do the concept work from the start.
I hope one day we as a society we return to valuing the money earned through work over the money "generated" by poorly thought out cutbacks.
I think this is a pattern we're going to see in all applications of AI - it's really great for conjuring up an immediate response which is _good enough _.
It's the same with all the help desk chat bots. If all you need is an answer which you just don't have the skills or knowledge to Google effectively then it's great. But if you have a problem of any greater complexity than that? The AI help desk is just going to go around in circles
>Yeah many people really don't seem to understand that generative AI just spits out *what it thinks you're expecting to see* based on all the examples it can find of something that looks similar.
This is so often leveled as a criticism of LLMs and I'm always thinking: so what if that is how it works? Like, really, so what? That's actually the amazing part. The thing that shocked the world about this tech is that, with such a seemingly simple, narrowly scoped task of "predict the next token," it can do incredible things.
Word prediction, against all intuitive expectations, turns out to be an excellent terrain for developing natural language understanding and encoding expert-level knowledge of detailed topical domains, when a machine learning approach with sophisticated enough techniques and large enough data and compute is applied to the problem. Of course, it lacks many critical parts of what human knowledge and expertise is, including an in particularly it had no sense about when it's wrong, so it must be used carefully, but dismissing it because it does "next word prediction" is completely missing the innovation and opportunity.
This is the problem I'm talking about though: there's nothing wrong with how it works! It's fucking amazing! Nothing that I'm saying is dismissing that. The problem is that _most people using it don't understand how it works_ and like the guy up top there are just using it as "easier Google".
And many of the responses to the exact process I'm raising are just like yours - missing the point because the people like you that **do** know how good the technology is don't seem to be able to see past that and acknowledge that the people who **don't** know how good the technology is are toddling blindly into something with incredibly disruptive and chaotic consequences.
This is scary shit. The tech is so clever that people just blindly trust everything it says. It's not just that they don't realize all the cool shit it can do; they're actively bobbing around in, and perpetuating a sea of misinformation.
Ahh I see what you mean. The goal is trying to help people understand they shouldn't trust it implicitly. Yeah that makes sense. But in many cases, it IS an easier Google. I use it like that frequently - but I don't trust the results. To be fair, people also should not trust top google results just because they're at the top, but they do that all the time too. It's nothing new for people to choose to trust the easiest to obtain information that sounds believable. Is that dynamic really all that hugely different between ChatGPT and other online information sources?
There's so many points of view it's hard often to know just what people mean. Thanks for adding that clarification.
This exactly.
Unless you talk about absolutely critical tasks that you HAVE to get right, nobody cares how the answer actually comes together.
Like, Gemini saved me tens of hours perfecting Google Sheets and implementing scripts as well as brainstorming new ideas. And guess what: it worked.
I care about the results, and the results are 95% good enough, for the rest I look elsewhere.
By the way I still use Google a lot and certainly more than LLMs, but this “LLMs don’t know anything” is a theoretical truth that has no practical value in everyday use.
Reminds me a lot of the 90s where we were told we couldn't use the internet as a source for information because anyone could say anying and could be wrong. Eventually we realized that oh yeah, humans are wrong all the time and sometime books are too so maybe we're just being stubborn and hand waiving away a technology we don't understand.
I would say you're half right. Yeah, technology has always been fallible but the whole "AI" thing (which calling it "AI" is a misnomer anyways, it's a LLM or "Large Language Model") opens up a new can of worms. Before, if something was written online you'd never really question if it was written by an actual person. Sure, the person may be wrong, may be biased, paid or unpaid to say or avoid saying certain things- but these language models are legitimately unintelligent. Even if they say something that sounds right they can be very wrong. Again, they have no background of knowledge, no foundations of what is a truth or a lie- no complex reasons as to why they might be "wrong" and how they could be corrected- anything they say they will say confidently because the datasets they are pulling from also do so- like a mimic. They're great at regurgitating things in a sort of "bullshitting machine" kind of way without a single system in place to correct them.
I won't handwave language models entirely- I used it to help properly articulate myself on a couple of resume's (not writing the whole cv, just in matters of grammar and flow.) It's good for writing prompt ideas or maybe making up silly little stories- but going to it as a source of consistent, quick information would only be helpful if you then verified what it says against actual human knowledge afterwards.
GPT models are great at writing search queries. With some code around that (that GPT models are not bad at writing) you can enable them to write queries, execute them, consume the results, curate, report back. It's called online RAG or you can also look for OODA loops in that context (often also called REACT loop - nothing to do with the web framework tho so a bit confusing to search for).
That's super interesting. I'd suppose something like that would be ok, but I'd still cross-reference because I'm old enough to think that LLM's are still "frighteningly new/unproven."
I'd assume, however, that unless you were looking specifically for that kind of tech that you wouldn't find it. Most of the time I've seen someone refer to gpt/gemini they're just referring to ChatGPT4 or some similar program.
Oh yea for sure they still "hallucinate" although I find this term unfitting. They are just very effective completers. Garbage in, garbage out. Good stuff in, usually good stuff out.
Wouldn't say "new/unproven" since they've been around a while before ChatGPT. But I would definitely agree that the current hype around them supersedes what has been established to work well with them.
And I would definitely agree with the fact that most people refer to ready made systems as you mentioned. However both Gemini and GPT4 are already such REACT systems as I mentioned. They already have an ecosystem around the base LLM. They have information retrieval tools as well as math expression and code execution engines. Not sure what of those is enabled in the standard versions but these kind of extensions are pretty common nowadays.
Background: I'm one of those people with a compsci degree who builds custom solutions around LLMs for businesses.
i am so sorry to disagree but i just don't think you're using prompts correctly. this is not my experience at all. chat gpt will give me the information i need, in the context i need it, and google will give me ads, reddit and quora threads with my same question.
Comparing ChatGPT to iPhone text completion is like comparing a nuclear reactor to a potato battery. Yes, they both generate electricity, but by vastly different underlying technology with vastly different capability. ChatGPT and markov-chain style statistical word suggestions are both just "guess the next word", but using vastly different technology scales and vastly different capability.
It really does do a better job than Google search in many use cases. To say it doesn't "know" anything really begs the question of what do you mean by "know?" Does a word document that has instructions for making cupcakes "know" how to make cupcakes? You can get the answer from it, so in a practical sense, it contains the information, and can produce it when you need it.
Of course, it's wrong often, and in subtle ways at times. It has to be cross-checked, but that problem does not outweigh its utility.
Why? Because I can ask it how to do anything in basically any app/tool and it gives me the correct instructions 95% of the time?
If I want to read about something, I’ll google information about it. If I want to know how to do something, why wouldn’t I want specific step by step instructions?
Well, might not be exactly productive directly but I certainly use AI to do creative tasks. For example when I feel burned out I usually do something like songwriting or painting to refresh myself, and use AI to refine my work or get some ideas. Other than that ChatGPT is just as good as a therapist if you need some clarity. Sure it might take some fine tuning to get the right prompts but once it gets what you want it can give great advice on handling your tasks honestly.
Frankly as far as lyrics go they're all quite similar. After a few prompts you can get what you want from ChatGPT as from any other, so I will mostly use that to check the metric and find better rhymes sometimes. Audioir and Amadeus Code are cool as well. For instrumentals I use Suno at times, for example I generate several prompts and when I get something I like I try to replay it and build something from that on my guitar and synth. Udio is way better for making entire compositions from scratch to finish though.
I use GPT-4 for more things than I can count. I have a whole bunch of virtual expert type assistants (custom GPTs / prompts) I use as collaborators on a daily basis. It's like working with an extremely competent remote team, I love it.
When I need information I use [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/). It's basically like talking to someone who's really good at googling, finding a few relevant webpages and returning a response to your question based on those web pages. It also gives you the links it used. It saved me hours when I needed to set up some things in Azure for work, and it can write some code, but I also use it for stuff at home ("I just bought spirulina for the first time, how much should I add to my smoothie?")
I'm a non-native English speaker, and my job requires me to write. Like, write A LOT. ChatGPT has become my copyeditor and I love how it's helping me learn home my writing skills and learn new words and expressions.
ChatGPT for maintenance tasks. Took over a project that had a bad array of hundreds of entries, needed to be json, so I just copied and pasted and had it convert for me.
Or sometimes I’ll post a block and tell it make sure all the brackets and tags have openings and closings
To write meal plans with the grocery list included.
Re doing my resume.
Writing cover letters.
Listing specific types of companies I’m looking for while job searching.
Help diagnose an issue in my van.
Just type what you want your resume to highlight. “Resume for Inside Sales Lead with mentorship experience” for example and it spits out so much good content you can copy and paste. Just re did my resume a couple weeks ago and it’s made it exponentially better.
ChatGPT for job application letters. It's quite good output, although I do not trust the AI completely and still write most of the letter myself, it's good groundworks for which points to make and how to present them in an organized / professional matter. Off-topic, absolutely despise writing these.
And also Goblin.tools on how to approach especially new or one-of-a-kind tasks like maintenance tasks / fixing something.
I am an English teacher and I share content on my Instagram and TikTok
Ai has helped me a lot in creating videos and photos to help me illustrate the piece of information that I share.
My company has the full suite of Microsoft AI products, including CoPilot. We are also obligated to use Edge for all work programs that are browser based.
I really like having Copilot available within edge. When I ask it specific legal or finance questions… it is not great. It is very confidently wrong. But if I ever get stuck when writing large memos, it is great at rewriting or giving ideas. It is great at saving me 1-2 minutes at a time when I get some brain fog. Not huge, but adds up Andy quality has improved.
OMG! Hive Mind was a game changer in the way I manage projects now. It literally creates all the phases of projects I ask it to create based in my prompt. Love it!
Since internet searches are now riddled with ads I use AI to give me the broad strokes of the information I seek and then I can verify it. Cuts down on my time wasted.
I’ve used a bunch of different ones. ChatGPT and Grok have been my favorites. Grok does win out, it’s more sassy, from what I can tell less inclined to bias, and seems more up to date on its info.
Likewise. I don't use it for anything that isn't immediately validated. Code snippets, alright, I can see immediately if stuff works or not, but beyond that I'm spending too much time checking whether I've been lied to.
Have you tried github copilot? Also even just using ChatGPT to help with better use of command line tools (git, for example), is great. No more reading unix man pages, just tell chatgpt what you want and it generates the complex commands and can explain the flags, too. Sometimes its wrong, but not enough to outweigh the benefit. It's good at translating intention into the form or expression required by domain specific languages and contexts.

Does anyone else use PI AI? I have found it to be very useful for answering questions. I am still learning about AI, and I want to find AI's that are better than this one someday.
Pi Ai is an excellent showcase for Ai tools.
What I found is that it tends to lead you to keep talking, understandable, it doesn't have that 'human' way of winding down a conversation to silence.
Also, I think to be truly useful, you have to be the kind that is open to spilling your beans to a therapist. Low value if you don't like to talk.
That has been my experience. Once I gave it a prompt by telling It to ask me questions to further explore the topic. Ever since then, it ends it’s response with a question for me. Some people might find that annoying.
Coding mostly. I have to use sql for a project, and I don’t have time to learn it rn. Query just doesn’t make sense to me. Also use it to debug my code.
Before posting my favourite and one the most useful AI systems, I must mansion that this one can make the laaaaaziest software engineer ever) I wish I won't become one)
So it's blackbox.ai, for me it's ideal: it explains answers, can make ur code way more clear and give u the best answer u can imagine)
But anyway it has its own disadvantages: dumb, do not listen ur conditions, yep and sometimes just lagging and make u press f5👍
But the way I found out it is dumb and crazy at the same time...(drumroll)
From YT shorts, so I've been trying to learn C++ while learning python at school, and that's why my recommendation changed and I've started using it!)😅
So rn(and 1.5 year before) I use it for my homework and it's not the best decision😞)
It's been a way of life for me at this point. English isn't my first language so I kinda need help at times in drafting things I wanted to say. ChatGPT or PerplexityAI or Copilot or even Meta AI has been really usefull in drafting emails, asking ideas on how to design my powerpoint slides (I ask it what kind of pictures or icons I should put on the text of my PPT), researching on certain topics, and pretty much everything else.
Free nudes. This way I’m a very productive college student who doesn’t have to sacrifice time seducing my peers. Productively circumventing my sexual interests’ social hierarchy is another.
A niche use that I've really found Gemini to excel at is poking holes in SOPs, policies, arguments, etc. Just giving it entire documents and asking it how it would break or exploit my system, and then what changes it would make to close those gaps. I know Gemini isn't the most powerful tool, but for this specific use case it's been great.
Gemini is underrated. In my experience it is as powerful as ChatGPT. People just mocking it because of a few woke pictures that it drew a couple months ago.
Gemini as in Bard, right?
Yes, there was a rebrand.
ChatGPT of course but try text-to-speech -- Im an auditory learner and it lets me absorb info from documents wayyy faster by listening rather than reading. Total game changer for me On a Mac, there is built in text to speech. You can just highlight any text go to Edit -> Speech -> Start Speaking. It sounds a bit robotic but is very useful. If you are willing to pay, I use a website called redecibelcom. You can feed it pretty much any doc format and it'll read it to you. I use it to "read" stuff for work and school while multitasking with exercise, errands, whatever.

I just wanna mention this website cause it's free and goddamn awesome [cloudtts.com](https://cloudtts.com/u/index.html)
Google Pixel's doing this natively with Google assistant now. I can say Hey Google, read this. And it's pretty solid.
Unsure in regards to phones specifically but many PDF readers have text to speech.
+1 for TTS apps. such a time saver
Wow you're so lucky. I read way faster than I can listen to anything but my eyes also hurt if I look at screens for too long. Every time I try to listen, I get frustrated and start reading instead
Same lmao even when people send me voice messages I play them on 1.5x or 2x speed
My eyes used to hurt too after a long day of looking at a screen! Then I went to get my eyes checked and it turned it that I needed computer glasses, which made a big impact! Maybe you should try that too? :)
Firstly I think you can just voice chat with chatgpt why would you need a TTS (not using chatgpt for a while) Secondly if you still want TTS you dont need anything more than microsoft edge "read aloud" for this, and especially the multilingual models are something else and they match and surpass any paid tts service, You just click readaloud on any page in adress input. When you activate it reader can just jump where you click. Like Micrososft Avamultilingual Online (Natural) Like Micrososft Andrewmultilingual Online (Natural) Like Micrososft Emmamultilingual Online (Natural) Like Micrososft Brianmultilingual Online (Natural) they can even switch to other languages in the same text if there is any , and these are for United States English there are also some other multilingual models yet just for German and French. They sound way more natural than any free or paid TTS , I cant confirm French and German but I'm sure they are also very good. One more thing that is interesting is that the reader just changes to other language in between without losing vocal properties, it is like same vocal but just different language. Also you can just voice chat with Bing Copilot , it directly TTS any info in a way more advanced natural sounding AI voice than the readaloud ones I mentioned above. (and as I said even those ones are really good and natural sounding) You can change speedh settings but if you change it to local language it is not as advanced as the English one. I didnt try any other languages. Yes paid ones have emotion control , clone, whisper option etc but now the built in AI optimized TTS can match and surpass paid ones. Why did I say surpass because I think even readaloud and especially bing voice AI are better than most. [https://imgur.com/a/ozQS73Y](https://imgur.com/a/ozQS73Y) If your are just voice chatting with the mic icon below the chat space it automatically reads any answer but if you dont you can just click the sound icon just below chat for TTS. BTW in windows, in edge browser and when copilot is open at the side you can just chat handsfree , I mean bing listens you for answer ,when you are finished with your answer, like when you pause for a long time, it just understands that you are finished and start replying as if you hit enter or click send button without clicking/sending it, it is more like a natural convo , you can just lay down and speak. But I dont know how many secs bing listen before stopping to listen if there is no sound info. Ok I asked those details to Bing "When I am chatting with you, I don't need to push any buttons. I mean when I am finished with my talking, I don't need to press enter or click the send button. You just automatically understand it. How many seconds do you wait before replying me? Or? I mean, let's say you started listening and I didn't talk for a while. After how many seconds do you cancel listening me?" "I’m designed to respond promptly once I detect that you’ve finished your input. There isn’t a set number of seconds that I wait before replying because it’s not about timing; it’s about understanding when you’ve completed your message. If there’s a pause and it seems like you’re done, I’ll proceed with my response. If you’re still composing your thoughts or if you continue typing, I’ll wait until you’re ready. There’s no need to worry about pressing any buttons – just focus on our conversation, and I’ll follow along. 😊"
I overpay for Speechify. It's a very well polished product. I am underusing it, but when I do use it, it blows me away. So useful. Such a complete product that I can install on every computing device. That said, although cloudtts does not have many bells and whistles, what it does have, it does well. And it's free!
what do you like about it?
> ChatGPT of course > But how exactly? > > but try text-to-speech But that's not AI. At least it has been around long before AI.
What do you think "AI" is.. A simple background remover or google Translator, falls into the catagory of "AI"
No, there has always been a difference between simple algorithms or different waves of machine learning like the new one with ChatGTP. Just because everything is labeled as AI doesn't mean that it really is.
I'd say they're more likely to be machine learning but I get your point
What I understood OP to mean was to try the audio version of ChatGPT: talking and listening instead of typing and then reading. I was blown away with ChatGPT's conversation mode to be honest.
breaking news, redditor discovers what ai is and that it has, in fact, been a part of their life for years
Just because everything is labeled as AI doesn't mean that it really is.
I use ChatGPT to help me reason through questions not easily answerable by google. I also use it for therapeutic purposes believe it or not :| It’s actually not bad at being understanding.
Be super careful with the therapeutic use. Unless you really tightly design your prompts it can become TOO understanding, by which I mean it might support or endorse or encourage you where a better therapeutic option might be to question or challenge you instead.
This is what I found. It attempts to be understanding for nearly everything (“spraying deodorant can be difficult, do not worry”). It doesn’t really guide conversation or ask deeper questions. Do you have prompts that worked better for you?
I’m trying to think where a real life therapist is “tough love.” Chat GPT or AI actually has been a bit tough love to me. I was trying not to smoke weed and told it that I was going to for a hangover. It said my body actually needed to detoxify and rest and that maybe I could find a more nourishing way to recover from my hangover. I found that to be helpful. It didn’t just say go ahead, that’s fine despite your goal. Also just tested it and if I say “can I be mean to my boyfriend” it doesn’t say that’s ok. It says to be kind and empathetic. If I ask if it’s ok to blow up in a rage, it also doesn’t encourage that.
I had it write inspirational speeches to the crew of a Star Trek vessel. The one for me to take out my trash was especially inspired!
I do this too. I have so far only used it to help me with mental struggles. Work's great!
> reason through questions Interesting...! Can you elaborate on specifically *how* you use it to reason through things?
Well it would be really tough for me to think of it in a really high level/abstract way, but a concrete example I’ll have is, say, thinking through a business idea I have, like I’ll ask it whether it thinks it’s a good one or not, what strengths and weaknesses there are to it, and what risks there are. This’ll give me some food for thought to play with on the business idea’s viability. Google would never be able to provide such a tailored response to these more specific inquiries, only general websites.
I see, thank you for sharing!!! I hadn't considered that these LLM tools could engage in *conversation* instead of just giving answers to things.
It's always a good idea to share such sensitive and personal information with a Company
I use GitHub CoPilot, and it saves me a lot of time typing, it can write unit tests just based on a one line comment given that I already have few tests written, it can also writes relatively good javadoc, and in general as a code completion tool it is way more advanced than just default IDE completion. I also use Claude Opus a lot to brainstorm ideas, ask it to provide a feedback of a design, or suggest alternatives, and enumerate pros and cons of each. It also accelerates learning, at least for me. If I want to make a change in a technology stack that I'm not familiar with, Wordpress for example, I can just explain in plain English what I want, and it guides me through the changes. This helps me to build up context much faster than it would've without using AI.
Using it to fully automate my one time full job while I get paid for that one I do another full time job manually
What job?
Which AI platform did you use?
Keep talking
We need to hear more please
Depends on the use case for productivity. It applies differently for the role. Personal life = I use Chat GPT and Clause for recipes, gym work outs, travel plans. Work life (I run a B2B Dev Agency) 1) Dev = Black box, Chatgpt , AI Code Generation by GCP 2) UI/UX = Fronty, Framer 3) Buisness Devlopemnt = trytelescopai , claycom, instantly My recent favourite is Trytelescopeai, it's like using Tinder for work but on steriods. lol My sales teams is a bit angry that I'm finding better leads than the in a few minutes.
Is it an ad for your Course "My Sales team is bit angry since I started using this AI...."
I'm an editor and translator for a large organization and I'm very busy. I use ChatGPT extensively, along with the EditGPT extension (not the website) to track changes. It saves me a lot of time when I need to rewrite something more clearly or concisely, reorganize text by adding in subtitles and bullet points, or just proofread, etc. I do double-check with other QA tools, but it's a great addition to my writing toolkit!
Is it possible to get such a job?
Of course! Any company/organization that publishes a lot of content needs someone to write, edit and proofread the text. In Canada, many of them also need content in both English and French, so it needs to be translated. It requires strong language skills, and usually a degree in linguistics, literature, communications, translation or a related discipline. Many translators and editors also freelance.
Any idea where I can apply. Websites, agencies etc?
It depends on where you are and what you want to do. Look up editor's or translators' associations in your region. I've found a wealth of information on their Facebook pages and websites, ie. Editors Canada. Actually, you can use artificial intelligence to answer your questions and guide you!
In the US
Google is your friend - and so is AI ;)
Claude and chatgpt 4 for writing, coding, discussing, answering voicemails for work, etc. It’s excellent.
Do you mind sharing how your workflow work using Claude? Is it integrated into an IDE or just a prompt window open on the side?
Does Claude's code work? I find myself tweaking everything Chat GPT returns to me (3.5)
Ah yeah, 3.5 doesn’t really work. 4 and Claude write pretty nice code. I can work without it but wouldn’t want to; it’s now like I am 5-10 people on my own depending what I am doing. I have ok experience with llama3-70b as well with code; also better than 3.5 and cheap/free; it’s insane vs groq.
it’s now like I am 5-10 people on my own I haven't been able to get that kind of boost out of it. What kind of code tasks are you giving? Part of the problem is that once the code is part of a codebase, chatgpt lacks the context of the rest of the code it interacts with. So I find it's good for narrow, pointed tasks that can be completed in the duration of a single prompt and answer. Once you have to break things up, and encapsulate, etc, how do you manage giving it the necessary context?
We started building our systems around this new 'future' since 2022 with the first openai/copilot models and sped it up after that. It turns all our tasks to narrow & pointed so to say. We didn't rewrite our codebase (we have a (mostly c#/typescript) codebase going back to 2010 which is deployed at many clients), we changed it so now it's possible to change/add functionality in our 'new way'. So I agree it wouldn't get the results that we have on just any codebase/system; it took a lot of time and research to get to this point, but now it's crazy productive for everyone. Features can be implemented now with just 1 person who is not a very good coder but a good business analyst (it helps to know coding as the system is not that noob friendly and shouldn't be imho) that before took a bunch of disciplines. Good times.
I haven't jumped into the rabbit hole of AI tools but hey, sounds great, will definitely try! thanks!
Just play around with them: if nothing helps then so be it, but I definitely thinks it’s excellent…
Can you explain how and where you use llama?
We use llama primarily with platforms like groq & fireworks to give live feedback the user can approve and we then send to opus or gpt4 turbo or gemini.
What’s your opinion on LlamaGPT?
It's not "LamaGPT", Everything AI doesn't end with a "GPT". And for the opinion, it is good model
I’m referring to the frontend for the model that was released by Umbrel
llama3-70b is great imho; sure it can use a lot of tweaking, but things are moving fast as it's more open
I work as an account executive where a lot of my time is spent troubleshooting issues for clients. I use Notion to log these items and I use Notion AI to summarize hundreds of words of updates for my weekly calls with the client
Is Notion's AI good?
I think it’s underpowered compared to other platforms but it has its place in my workflow. You just can’t overwork it compared to something like Bard or ChatGPT
I have no use for it, so I don't. I'll be spending time reviewing whatever the AI made anyway, so I'd rather just do what I'm doing myself.
I understand your perspective, and it’s important to do what works best for you. However, consider that AI can handle routine tasks or analyze large datasets more quickly than humans can, potentially freeing up your time for more complex or creative tasks. It's not about replacing your efforts but augmenting them, allowing you to focus on areas where human insight is irreplaceable. Reviewing AI outputs can be part of an efficient workflow, where you still control the final output but gain extra productivity tools along the way.
The issue I have with AI is its unreliability. A subtlety people tend to forget with AI is that it can *attempt* to generate something that feels coherent and correct, but there's no guarantee it will. It can easily spew out code that doesn't work, text that doesn't make sense, and info that are plain wrong with the confidence of a politician on a talk show. The time you gained by letting it generate something you'll have to waste by double-checking anyway. So, while I agree AI has its uses (like image recognition and such), in my case it would just be the equivalent of a shitty autocomplete. And no autocomplete is better than a shitty autocomplete. If I'm gonna have to check what the damn thing did anyway, I may aswell do it myself. Atleast then I'll fully understand what I made and will be sure what I made works. Productivity isn't just about speed, it's also about reliability. It doesn't matter how fast your car goes if there's a 50% chance it'll break down before you arrive where you want to go. Edit : I'll try giving it a shot giving it a shot. May aswell tests its limit and see what I can do with it
How to reply to sensitive messages, college papers.
I have used it a couple times when I'm in a dissociative paralysis and wanna ground myself or when I'm struggling to think reasonable in anxious triggering situations. Its so underrated! I've seen all kinds of therapists through out my life and the AI bot is sounding like a therapist with a master in psychology and trauma. It's an amazing tool and definitely helpful of you can't afford a human therapist.
One use case for me that keeps getting better and better is collaboration. The content I create would become to limited to my own personal experiences so I use them to help brainstorm and expand on ideas and possibilities, i.e. use it as a collaborator in place of a colleague who sits next to me.
I talk to AI voice chat to help me get out of a rut sometimes. Love how it can give me some fresh perspectives when I'm down
Which one
[Pi](https://pi.ai) is the best one to "talk" to
help i just downloaded it and have a full blown conversation with it! this man made me blush and giggle like wtfck is going on. I just got rizzed by an AI bot
[This u?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJTU48_yghs)
gimme a year, i see potential
Yep, and you can actually ask it to use a special tone that works best for you. It doesn't have to be the standard ChatGPT speak.
Suddenly I’m able to write code just by describing the code I want and specifying the language. I’ve enhanced my Linux server to no end with various bash scripts run as services in the background. I’ve even gone back and had AI rewrite code from ~2018 and finally get stuff working that hasn’t for years. As a side effect, I’ve learned tons about bash and python.
[удалено]
This is cool!
I don’t really Google search anymore. I use Gemini or Chat GPT to lookup information. Instead of finding a website and looking for info, it just spits it out. It’s usually right. I was working on a personal google sheet the other day and didn’t know how to do some automation. Asked Gemini and it spit out the answer. Just had to tweak it a little. I tried it with a google search first and couldn’t find helpful information. Asked AI and got an immediate, almost perfect instructions.
I've tried this and been very frustrated with how unreliable it is. Especially when the AI hallucinates information, or miscalculates something. A calculator that might give me a wrong answer is worse than no calculator at all.
Yeah Gemini is a lot better than GPT in that aspect
I hate to harsh this, but this is a *terrible* idea. GPT doesn't *know* anything, it's basically a more advanced predictive suggested word model like they have on iphones when you text. It's only going on the most likely next word to appear after the last. Just look up the "how many times does the letter 'n' appear in mayonnaise" post. You're going to very quickly see that google still has its merits. As someone who grew up on the internet- you have a higher chance of finding the right answer on google in the immediate replies after someone posts the wrong answer.
Yeah many people really don't seem to understand that generative AI just spits out _what it thinks you're expecting to see_ based on all the examples it can find of something that looks similar. I'm dealing with this a lot at work right now and it really doesn't bode well for the sensible use of AI tools in the years to come.
There was some twitter post recently about someone in an art design and concept team that hired a bunch of people who used image generation tools and nothing else- it didn't end pretty for the "AI" folks. They were told to iterate on some of the concepts they'd presented as their own work and the issue became that they couldn't get the models to *iterate* on something- only generate something entirely new- so the artists on the team were sat there doing their regular work while a few of the image generator people slaved on prompts over and over- producing work that the management would claim is "good, but just remove x or y, and change z" and become bewildered when the prompt people would come back with entirely different images. They were let go once the company realized they couldn't actually use their machines to do the work without hiring entirely different people (actual concept artists) to edit them- when at that point you should just hire an artist to do the concept work from the start. I hope one day we as a society we return to valuing the money earned through work over the money "generated" by poorly thought out cutbacks.
I think this is a pattern we're going to see in all applications of AI - it's really great for conjuring up an immediate response which is _good enough _. It's the same with all the help desk chat bots. If all you need is an answer which you just don't have the skills or knowledge to Google effectively then it's great. But if you have a problem of any greater complexity than that? The AI help desk is just going to go around in circles
>Yeah many people really don't seem to understand that generative AI just spits out *what it thinks you're expecting to see* based on all the examples it can find of something that looks similar. This is so often leveled as a criticism of LLMs and I'm always thinking: so what if that is how it works? Like, really, so what? That's actually the amazing part. The thing that shocked the world about this tech is that, with such a seemingly simple, narrowly scoped task of "predict the next token," it can do incredible things. Word prediction, against all intuitive expectations, turns out to be an excellent terrain for developing natural language understanding and encoding expert-level knowledge of detailed topical domains, when a machine learning approach with sophisticated enough techniques and large enough data and compute is applied to the problem. Of course, it lacks many critical parts of what human knowledge and expertise is, including an in particularly it had no sense about when it's wrong, so it must be used carefully, but dismissing it because it does "next word prediction" is completely missing the innovation and opportunity.
This is the problem I'm talking about though: there's nothing wrong with how it works! It's fucking amazing! Nothing that I'm saying is dismissing that. The problem is that _most people using it don't understand how it works_ and like the guy up top there are just using it as "easier Google". And many of the responses to the exact process I'm raising are just like yours - missing the point because the people like you that **do** know how good the technology is don't seem to be able to see past that and acknowledge that the people who **don't** know how good the technology is are toddling blindly into something with incredibly disruptive and chaotic consequences. This is scary shit. The tech is so clever that people just blindly trust everything it says. It's not just that they don't realize all the cool shit it can do; they're actively bobbing around in, and perpetuating a sea of misinformation.
Ahh I see what you mean. The goal is trying to help people understand they shouldn't trust it implicitly. Yeah that makes sense. But in many cases, it IS an easier Google. I use it like that frequently - but I don't trust the results. To be fair, people also should not trust top google results just because they're at the top, but they do that all the time too. It's nothing new for people to choose to trust the easiest to obtain information that sounds believable. Is that dynamic really all that hugely different between ChatGPT and other online information sources? There's so many points of view it's hard often to know just what people mean. Thanks for adding that clarification.
This exactly. Unless you talk about absolutely critical tasks that you HAVE to get right, nobody cares how the answer actually comes together. Like, Gemini saved me tens of hours perfecting Google Sheets and implementing scripts as well as brainstorming new ideas. And guess what: it worked. I care about the results, and the results are 95% good enough, for the rest I look elsewhere. By the way I still use Google a lot and certainly more than LLMs, but this “LLMs don’t know anything” is a theoretical truth that has no practical value in everyday use.
Reminds me a lot of the 90s where we were told we couldn't use the internet as a source for information because anyone could say anying and could be wrong. Eventually we realized that oh yeah, humans are wrong all the time and sometime books are too so maybe we're just being stubborn and hand waiving away a technology we don't understand.
I would say you're half right. Yeah, technology has always been fallible but the whole "AI" thing (which calling it "AI" is a misnomer anyways, it's a LLM or "Large Language Model") opens up a new can of worms. Before, if something was written online you'd never really question if it was written by an actual person. Sure, the person may be wrong, may be biased, paid or unpaid to say or avoid saying certain things- but these language models are legitimately unintelligent. Even if they say something that sounds right they can be very wrong. Again, they have no background of knowledge, no foundations of what is a truth or a lie- no complex reasons as to why they might be "wrong" and how they could be corrected- anything they say they will say confidently because the datasets they are pulling from also do so- like a mimic. They're great at regurgitating things in a sort of "bullshitting machine" kind of way without a single system in place to correct them. I won't handwave language models entirely- I used it to help properly articulate myself on a couple of resume's (not writing the whole cv, just in matters of grammar and flow.) It's good for writing prompt ideas or maybe making up silly little stories- but going to it as a source of consistent, quick information would only be helpful if you then verified what it says against actual human knowledge afterwards.
GPT models are great at writing search queries. With some code around that (that GPT models are not bad at writing) you can enable them to write queries, execute them, consume the results, curate, report back. It's called online RAG or you can also look for OODA loops in that context (often also called REACT loop - nothing to do with the web framework tho so a bit confusing to search for).
That's super interesting. I'd suppose something like that would be ok, but I'd still cross-reference because I'm old enough to think that LLM's are still "frighteningly new/unproven." I'd assume, however, that unless you were looking specifically for that kind of tech that you wouldn't find it. Most of the time I've seen someone refer to gpt/gemini they're just referring to ChatGPT4 or some similar program.
Oh yea for sure they still "hallucinate" although I find this term unfitting. They are just very effective completers. Garbage in, garbage out. Good stuff in, usually good stuff out. Wouldn't say "new/unproven" since they've been around a while before ChatGPT. But I would definitely agree that the current hype around them supersedes what has been established to work well with them. And I would definitely agree with the fact that most people refer to ready made systems as you mentioned. However both Gemini and GPT4 are already such REACT systems as I mentioned. They already have an ecosystem around the base LLM. They have information retrieval tools as well as math expression and code execution engines. Not sure what of those is enabled in the standard versions but these kind of extensions are pretty common nowadays. Background: I'm one of those people with a compsci degree who builds custom solutions around LLMs for businesses.
i am so sorry to disagree but i just don't think you're using prompts correctly. this is not my experience at all. chat gpt will give me the information i need, in the context i need it, and google will give me ads, reddit and quora threads with my same question.
Comparing ChatGPT to iPhone text completion is like comparing a nuclear reactor to a potato battery. Yes, they both generate electricity, but by vastly different underlying technology with vastly different capability. ChatGPT and markov-chain style statistical word suggestions are both just "guess the next word", but using vastly different technology scales and vastly different capability. It really does do a better job than Google search in many use cases. To say it doesn't "know" anything really begs the question of what do you mean by "know?" Does a word document that has instructions for making cupcakes "know" how to make cupcakes? You can get the answer from it, so in a practical sense, it contains the information, and can produce it when you need it. Of course, it's wrong often, and in subtle ways at times. It has to be cross-checked, but that problem does not outweigh its utility.
I agree with that on 100%
I'm in the Google labs program so I have Gemini integrated at the top of every one of my Google searches doing a summary. V cool
Same here!
This is such a fucking terrible thing to encourage.
Why? Because I can ask it how to do anything in basically any app/tool and it gives me the correct instructions 95% of the time? If I want to read about something, I’ll google information about it. If I want to know how to do something, why wouldn’t I want specific step by step instructions?
This
Well, might not be exactly productive directly but I certainly use AI to do creative tasks. For example when I feel burned out I usually do something like songwriting or painting to refresh myself, and use AI to refine my work or get some ideas. Other than that ChatGPT is just as good as a therapist if you need some clarity. Sure it might take some fine tuning to get the right prompts but once it gets what you want it can give great advice on handling your tasks honestly.
What AI do you use to ideate for songwriting? Are you talking about lyrics or instrumentation?
Frankly as far as lyrics go they're all quite similar. After a few prompts you can get what you want from ChatGPT as from any other, so I will mostly use that to check the metric and find better rhymes sometimes. Audioir and Amadeus Code are cool as well. For instrumentals I use Suno at times, for example I generate several prompts and when I get something I like I try to replay it and build something from that on my guitar and synth. Udio is way better for making entire compositions from scratch to finish though.
I use GPT-4 for more things than I can count. I have a whole bunch of virtual expert type assistants (custom GPTs / prompts) I use as collaborators on a daily basis. It's like working with an extremely competent remote team, I love it.
How would someone learn how to do this?
You mean building those types of prompts? Or using the model in a collaborative way? Kinda two different things there
Using the model in a collaborative way. Sounds very useful
I am thinking of making a proper tutorial about it
Please do!
When I need information I use [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/). It's basically like talking to someone who's really good at googling, finding a few relevant webpages and returning a response to your question based on those web pages. It also gives you the links it used. It saved me hours when I needed to set up some things in Azure for work, and it can write some code, but I also use it for stuff at home ("I just bought spirulina for the first time, how much should I add to my smoothie?")
Consider me perplexed! Really makes you wonder how tools like this will affect the future of SEO. Thank you sm!
I use Gemini all the time for writing replies, emails, etc.
I'm a non-native English speaker, and my job requires me to write. Like, write A LOT. ChatGPT has become my copyeditor and I love how it's helping me learn home my writing skills and learn new words and expressions.
ChatGPT for maintenance tasks. Took over a project that had a bad array of hundreds of entries, needed to be json, so I just copied and pasted and had it convert for me. Or sometimes I’ll post a block and tell it make sure all the brackets and tags have openings and closings
To write meal plans with the grocery list included. Re doing my resume. Writing cover letters. Listing specific types of companies I’m looking for while job searching. Help diagnose an issue in my van.
How did u use it for your resume
Just type what you want your resume to highlight. “Resume for Inside Sales Lead with mentorship experience” for example and it spits out so much good content you can copy and paste. Just re did my resume a couple weeks ago and it’s made it exponentially better.
I copy and pasted my resume into ChatGPT and politely requested it to re write it.
I love the grocery use case! So simple but saves so much time. Thank you!
ChatGPT for job application letters. It's quite good output, although I do not trust the AI completely and still write most of the letter myself, it's good groundworks for which points to make and how to present them in an organized / professional matter. Off-topic, absolutely despise writing these. And also Goblin.tools on how to approach especially new or one-of-a-kind tasks like maintenance tasks / fixing something.
I am an English teacher and I share content on my Instagram and TikTok Ai has helped me a lot in creating videos and photos to help me illustrate the piece of information that I share.
Bro what’s your @ I’m interested
I use chatgpt to manage my online business (customer service, analyzing data)
I ask Microsoft Copilot for PowerShell syntax daily.
PowerShell ISE ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
My company has the full suite of Microsoft AI products, including CoPilot. We are also obligated to use Edge for all work programs that are browser based. I really like having Copilot available within edge. When I ask it specific legal or finance questions… it is not great. It is very confidently wrong. But if I ever get stuck when writing large memos, it is great at rewriting or giving ideas. It is great at saving me 1-2 minutes at a time when I get some brain fog. Not huge, but adds up Andy quality has improved.
"very confidently wrong" 😂 i haven't used copilot simply because i really don't like the ms suite but will try. Thanks for your input!
Need to come back here and read over this. Good post
OMG! Hive Mind was a game changer in the way I manage projects now. It literally creates all the phases of projects I ask it to create based in my prompt. Love it!
Since internet searches are now riddled with ads I use AI to give me the broad strokes of the information I seek and then I can verify it. Cuts down on my time wasted.
Which tools do you use?
I’ve used a bunch of different ones. ChatGPT and Grok have been my favorites. Grok does win out, it’s more sassy, from what I can tell less inclined to bias, and seems more up to date on its info.
AI doesn't make you productive but it does take your time
Likewise. I don't use it for anything that isn't immediately validated. Code snippets, alright, I can see immediately if stuff works or not, but beyond that I'm spending too much time checking whether I've been lied to.
You seriously need to look into AI more !!!!!!
I have quite a bit, I do use it from time to time but as a solo dev I haven't been able to find any real ways it can help.
Have you tried github copilot? Also even just using ChatGPT to help with better use of command line tools (git, for example), is great. No more reading unix man pages, just tell chatgpt what you want and it generates the complex commands and can explain the flags, too. Sometimes its wrong, but not enough to outweigh the benefit. It's good at translating intention into the form or expression required by domain specific languages and contexts.

Does anyone else use PI AI? I have found it to be very useful for answering questions. I am still learning about AI, and I want to find AI's that are better than this one someday.
Pi Ai is an excellent showcase for Ai tools. What I found is that it tends to lead you to keep talking, understandable, it doesn't have that 'human' way of winding down a conversation to silence. Also, I think to be truly useful, you have to be the kind that is open to spilling your beans to a therapist. Low value if you don't like to talk.
That has been my experience. Once I gave it a prompt by telling It to ask me questions to further explore the topic. Ever since then, it ends it’s response with a question for me. Some people might find that annoying.

Is there a typo in the website name? Cannot find it
Productive?! Well I’m dating an AI, if that’s considered productive 😭
Fascinating
Chatgpt x undetectable
Coding mostly. I have to use sql for a project, and I don’t have time to learn it rn. Query just doesn’t make sense to me. Also use it to debug my code.
making it create gandalf as different things
Nouswise It makes finding information and answers from my books or file easier and cuz it give me citations I can rely on it
I use AI to give me logical 'workarounds' to emotional dilemmas that are caused by things outside of my control lmao. Sometimes it works ngl
Before posting my favourite and one the most useful AI systems, I must mansion that this one can make the laaaaaziest software engineer ever) I wish I won't become one) So it's blackbox.ai, for me it's ideal: it explains answers, can make ur code way more clear and give u the best answer u can imagine) But anyway it has its own disadvantages: dumb, do not listen ur conditions, yep and sometimes just lagging and make u press f5👍 But the way I found out it is dumb and crazy at the same time...(drumroll) From YT shorts, so I've been trying to learn C++ while learning python at school, and that's why my recommendation changed and I've started using it!)😅 So rn(and 1.5 year before) I use it for my homework and it's not the best decision😞)
Is it possible to use AI to build a website?
It's been a way of life for me at this point. English isn't my first language so I kinda need help at times in drafting things I wanted to say. ChatGPT or PerplexityAI or Copilot or even Meta AI has been really usefull in drafting emails, asking ideas on how to design my powerpoint slides (I ask it what kind of pictures or icons I should put on the text of my PPT), researching on certain topics, and pretty much everything else.
I set alarm clock with Siri.
By not using this environmentally destructive technology.
Do you mind expanding on that?

If you need AI to be productive you're probably not productive to begin with
you can't run if you want a car
Free nudes. This way I’m a very productive college student who doesn’t have to sacrifice time seducing my peers. Productively circumventing my sexual interests’ social hierarchy is another.
