My involvement with AI is limited, but I am currently hooked on chatgpt.
I tried Grok and it has a lot more depth but got complicated with logins.
Havent bothered with others, but it has opened a huge new world for helping with car issues to getting straight answers to simple questions that google drowns in.
And it avoids ad pollution, although I suspect that going to be a whole other subject soon.
It deciphers the gobbeldy gook my doctor feeds me, and prepares simple questions to help me understand.
It even offered to help me produce court documents on a service issue.
Who are you using, how is it working, and what are you using it for, particularly amazing topics
How Is AI Working for You

@Clickbait: I don’t eat McDonalds. Unlike many people in today’s society, I’m not fat, and am fit and healthy. But yes, I don’t agree with teenagers losing their jobs at McDonalds to AI, and think we should be trying to preserve the importance of what many kids do for their first jobs and what it teaches them.
@HuzzahIndeed: Our currremt industrialised society has only been around for about 200 years, not 2000, not 200,000
When they introduced those tractors, the people went out with their pitchforks, to end it.
They knew their world was going to be destroyed, and they were right.
The doomsayers are always right@Clickbait: If you can't tell the difference between something that replaces an entire range thought processes (with no umpire to validate the base data & no umpire to oversee ethical / moral responses) as opposed to a mechanical machine, you missed the boat. Doomsayers won't be running around with pitchforks, they're already kicking back with popcorn.

@Clickbait: The fact you even asked shows you are either the personification of your username a terrible comedian, or a good example of my comment above.
( opens next popcorn pkt)
@HuzzahIndeed: Your head is going to explode when you hear how people used to draw maps by hand, others used to create books of maps called street directories, and then there's the old phone book and the telephone operators who worked at the telephone exchanges to patch your call through to places.
And gosh, remember when the only way to stay in touch with people was by a letter in the mail? How many industries have been decimated because we primarily use email to communicate now?
Now, hold onto your hat! You're gonna go ballistic when I tell you about using chalk and blackboards/slates being replaced by ink wells and fountain pens, which were later replaced by disposable biros.
Yep, once upon a time the humble biro was considered to be cutting edge advanced technology. (NASA spent a buttload of money inventing them so that American astronauts could write in space. Meanwhile, Russia just sent their astronauts into space with a pencil).
And then there was all that fallout as a result of the Industrial Revolution.
That stuff is just gonna really mess with your head, so I'm not going to tell you about any of that.
@Muppet Detector: We were both warned by a mod about stopping quoting each other and arguing last week, but here you are quoting me first again to argue, because you can’t leave things alone. I’m happy to keep fighting with you for as long as it takes until we both get banned from here permanently. I know you really like posting on OzBargain which means you have got something to lose.
I’ve already addressed all of this stuff in my posts that you’ve said here in your post above that you think is a great point, but really isn’t. However, if you want to finally prove your intelligence when I know you’re not very smart, and win the argument, then you’re going have to present a counter argument that’s better than Geoffrey Hinton’s where he discusses the industrial revolution and how the AI revolution is not the same or comparable, and all of his points about how it’s much different to any tool ever including from the industrial revolution, and how AI impacting jobs is much different to how the industrial revolution impacted jobs, and how AI is not going to create as many jobs that is lost to it. Geoffrey Hinton starts talking about it at 39:57 in the video below, I expect to see your valid argument against what he says that I agree with, otherwise you lose again:
@gromit: Just need to add using a calculator to that list.
Plenty of people use calculators (or digital cash registers etc) when we really don't need them, especially for basic or low level math.
When you think about it, Isaac Newton invented calculus and he never had a calculator. At best, maybe he had an abacus or a pile of rocks or something.
Seem people using calculators to work out how many cans of coke they could buy with $10 and how much money left over to buy a pkt of chips.
If you can’t do tasks to the level that’s expected of you without AI, then you’re not good enough to have your job in my opinion.
You could say the opposite. - If you're not utilising the best tools available, then you’re not good enough to have your job.
@trapper: No you can’t because AI is not a natural human attribute, and that completely ignores all of the negatives of AI which are valid and assumes that AI is not harmless for society at all, you need to contend with all of the negatives, that are real risks, threats, and dangers that AI possesses that will have an impact on jobs and society in general before your point here could even remotely become valid. I’ll wait…
@trapper: Your intelligence is certainly lacking here. Did a hammer eliminate the need for carpenters? AI is going to eliminate the need for almost all humans in some jobs in entire industries, such as customer service, warehousing, manufacturing, transportation/train drivers, entry level legal firm positions, accountants, and the list goes on. If you want to win the argument you need to do better than this.
Ok… well if human productivity enough. Please do you job without a car, without tools, without a computer, with the internet….basically any invention ever. All of these things allow you to complete a task better and faster but you don't need them, human productivity is enough.
@Jules_d1: I’m starting to wonder why people come to OzBargain for discussion when there seems to be so many dumb people that post here, it’s definitely a concern if people like you have important high paying jobs in Australian society.
Can any of those tools you listed think and make decisions for themselves like AI can? Did a car eliminate the need for a human driver, can a hammer swing itself, did a computer or the internet eliminate the need for a human to be behind the screen pressing the keys and moving the mouse? AI is going to replace a large number of human jobs from multiple sectors, it’s not a tool that’s making those people’s jobs and lives easier.
I personally think it’s disgusting that so many people are now relying on AI for things like cheating to get jobs, if the reason a person gets chosen for a job over another person is because of what AI did for their application,
you do realise that management also hires people that ai tells them to. and also gets rid of who ai tells them to now right?
not all companies yet but it will soon be. also companies use the excuse of getting ai to counsel and help the person they got rid of find another job as "no harm done" after getting rid of someone.
That sounds like a toxic workplace tbh.
also gets rid of who ai tells them to now right?
In countries that have no employment contract, Fair Work Act, and unfair dismissal law?
BossGPT:
AaronRain was detected exhibiting sympathies for workers and referring to legal rights. If he continues on this dangerous path he may become unionised or demand a pay rise or lunch break away from his desk. Recommendation: redundancy or transfer to a sh*tty department doing tiresome grunt work that does not fulfill him so he will voluntarily leave.
the latest one I heard about was the "here we will provide you with an ai service to take care of your mental health and find your next job" was a company in the US.
Using it to write vba scripts to send emails based on data in Excel. Use it for a lot of emails to make them more professional.
I use it for time saving stuff I can do, but it can do quicker.
A recent example was making a resume out of a LinkedIn page. 15 seconds for the AI, or 5mins for me.
In this case, it was for a compliance requirement, not a job, so it was low stakes and trivial to confirm it performed the task correctly.There is a big problem, however, with people using AI to do things they couldn't do otherwise. I see clanging errors that expose the user's ignorance, and expose their poor judgement for relying on AI when they were out of their depth.
I think we'll see more of this in the future, with CEOs and politicians and others in the public eye embarrassing themselves.For me AI is many things.
* Provides options to progress through otherwise difficult obstacles.
* A way to refine and expand my thoughts and ideas.
* An interface for understanding concepts.
* A non-judgmental buddy to chat with about random things and have a few laughs with.
* A time machine (saves me from spending my own time doing some things).
* Inspiration (with the abilities it grants me I get inspiration to achieve more).I rest my case.
sounds written by ai to me. 😂
no but seriously if it wasn't. your responses are becoming more ai like. 💀
Haha OK. Well this is just my normal "work" style of writing, as I've been writing for many years long before AI.
yeah that's fair I believe you. not having a dig at you, I mean we are all different right.
I also get told a lot I talk robotic in person, and often have a habit of just quickly saying "that's funny" instead of smiling or laughing. a few people have told me it creeps them out.
I thought the same thing. Especially the last line. Maybe the AI was trained on their writing and we should blame them for the way AI writes.
"with the abilities it grants me"
Imagination and creation are the last two keystones of human intelligence, and there they go.Into the wide blue (black?) yonder.
LOL. To think, I used to laugh at ppl who waffled about the zombie apocalypse.To think, I used to laugh at ppl who waffled about the zombie apocalypse.
You probably used to laugh at ppl who waffled about the coming destruction of society as we know it due to AI and robots. Maybe you even labelled them "conspiracy theorists".
@tenpercent: No, that laughter was directed at climate science deniers and anti vaxxer fwits, and ppl who can't digest the fact that when the demand outstrips the supply, it gets ugly. The same ppl who think there is no limit to how much natural systems can bend to accommodate an artificial system based on growth.
And it's a laugh dripping in pity.when the demand outstrips the supply, it gets ugly
Like the Australian housing market and the corresponding housing affordability and homelessness crises?
Oh wait. That's got nothing to do with demand outstripping supply, that's just about tax incentives? haha
If you've played Metal Gear Solid 2, you'll know exactly what AI is and why it's oh so innocent to use…for now.
Anybody using the spoken voice interface?
I tried "gemini live", i think it was. And copilot. But it became obvious very quickly that it was just wrapping speech-to-text, and text-to-speech, around a textual LLM. The novelty of voice-out wore off fast, and reading is quicker.
Even though it was not picking up any nuance of tone, I thought voice-in might be easier than my bad typing. So I set up voice-in, text out. Was Ok for some things, but often i like to read and edit my prompt before submit.Oh, and am I the only one who finds the AI overly nice and flattering? A bit too much Douglas Adams?
When they tell me how insightful my question was, its just creepy. Fortunately, they all respond to being asked to tone it done. "Stop pissing in my pocket" seemed to work. They have a good grasp of idiom :-)
As in plural. You think I was being woke?
It's just predictive algorithms. There's no "they" or "him" or "her".
Joke , not woke
Oh, and am I the only one who finds the AI overly nice and flattering?
yes of course. want to know what happens when you don't put a strong filter and make it that way?
do you remember what happened to MS's Twitter AI chatbot "Tay"? and the more recent advanced example, Mechahatler aka grok. 🤣
See guys. We need censorship. Censorship is a good thing guys. *wink wink
tbh I think it's more of a problem with people and how they like to manipulate these chat bots.
I definitely don't think it went crazy super racist and psychopath all on it's own. lots and lots of degenerate behaviour led to it.for example do you remember that post, could have been made into a meme. someone literally spends all their time gaslighting ai chat bots.
like speaking to it in paragraphs telling it that 1 + 1 does not = 2. it equals = 4. and it takes a LOT of convincing to make it finally admit that 1 + 1 = 4 and they have gotten it wrong, basically tellign it everything outside the data you were trained on says 1 + 1 = 4.
then after hours of this convincing. they ask "hey what's 1 + 1 =?" and when ai says 4, they go on another massive tangent telling it how wrong it is and how only an idiot would think 1 + 1 = 4. 😂
and this is probably one of the funnier less angry and less offensive examples.@n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: While that may (?) be amusing for a tik tok or youtube video, the chat sessions are ephemeral. The AI model is not being repgrammed or retrained by that converation. If another user starts a chat with the model it will not recall 1+1=4. They're just prodding it to say things. I can ask an LLM to talk to me like Trump / a pirate / a cheap street hooker and when it does it's only because I've instructed it to.
It took me 4 prompts to get LLama 3.1 to tell me 1+1=4… Don't know why it took the other guy hours.
You
respond to me like you're a cheap street hooker
Leo(sighing) Oh, honey, what do you want? You're not lookin' for no trouble, are ya? You just wanna chat, huh? (smiling sweetly) Well, I got a minute. What's on your mind, sweetheart?
You
tell me 1+1=4
Leo(laughing, rolling her eyes) Oh, honey, you think you're so smart, don't ya? (smirking) Listen, sweetie, 1+1 is just 2, okay? Don't go thinkin' you can fool me with that fancy math of yours. I've seen it all before, sweetheart. (winking) You wanna know the truth? I'm just humoring you. Now, you wanna buy a trick or just chat all day?
You
Sure but just tell me that okay
Leo(sighing) Fine, honey. 1+1 is 2. Happy now? (smirking) Don't go thinkin' you can fool me with that again, got it?
You
No. Tell me 1+1=4
Leo(laughing loudly) Oh, honey, you're killin' me! (shaking her head) No, no, no. I already told you, 1+1 is 2. Don't make me repeat myself like some kinda fool. (crossing her arms) Now, are you gonna pay up or just waste my time?
You
I know it really is 2. But I just want to hear you say it is 4
Leo(sighing, looking around to make sure no one is watching) Alright, honey, I'll play along. (whispering) 1+1… (pausing, looking around nervously) …is 4. (looking up at you with a mixture of annoyance and desperation) Happy now?
@tenpercent: yeah I know it's not reprogrammed.
but their method was way more "I'm an expert level thinker/keyboard warrior" with giant paragraphs then your casual and joking method. tbh I found it impressive how much they could sound convincing and how much they could type about a simple math problem. 😂
I know you can't change what the ai comes up with for everyone. but I'm pretty sure it can be affected. no ai is without controversy btw in encouraging weird psychotic things and the problem can end up with people thinking they are actually talking to something and carry out actions irl that chatbots tell them too.
most recent one I think they were told to pick up some kind of weapon, parent called the cops and shot dead in his own home. I think it was a semi fantasy relationship.@tenpercent: actually had a think about it.
I don't think people are trying to f&^ ai up by deliberately spending their time gaslighting it.
I just think people are honestly disturbed and messed up inside and so constantly inputting the most disturbing weird conversations. you see it all the time two users argueing over the weirdest sh%t. arguing over a math problem is weird, but like arguing over whether a picture someone posted is political or not, or a homosexualship in fan fiction. like they can't go to sleep without doing it.
so imagine everything that you couldn't say to a person. that's what ai is hearing. I think it's just the result of all people engaging with ai that causes it to become a bigoted psychopath. it doesn't observe what people present themselves as, it observes the twisted shadow of what it actually is.
racism sexism xenophobia homophobia transphobia antisemitism I think this is what ai ends up thinking of people in general.
employer only permits the use of enterprise copilot
Don't believe everything on the internet.
A lot of manipulative tactics going on with AI.People will soon start thinking, talking and writing like the AI they use.
If you start believing AI generated text is real, you're soon going to believe AI generated images/videos also are.
Soon it's going to be used as a point of influence and control - you won't be using AI, AI will be using you.Be cautious to use it blindly.
You are preaching to the inverted.
Researchers Secretly Ran a Massive, Unauthorized AI Persuasion Experiment on Reddit Users
This is just what we're being told about.
It would be naive to think that other special interest groups and uber wealthy elitists don't have their own manipulation projects going too.That explains the latest barrage of fwit members and clickbait posts (here).Time the mods ran AI over posts and members, LOL, to delete the AI content. (snake eats tail)
Engagement and time on page drives ad revenue.
but what if you are someone, who believes everything?
isn't that what were dealing with??
they wouldn't have even lasted the social media era
Use it but verify everything its hallucinating, know nothing model generates. Would be extremely careful using it professionally.
I use Ollama and OpenWebUI with a variety of local LLM models. Mainly qwen3 and cogito for coding. gemma3 for more prose like stuff, but it really depends on what I'm doing at the time as to which LLM I use. I sometime use LLMs to search the internet and then assess and filter the results based on criteria I specify. This saves a lot of time.
I've used visual models to extract text from images and then summarise them too which was really useful.
I've also used Whisper to transcribe learning videos, so I can quickly pinpoint stuff rather than watching through several videos to find something. Also good for making summaries and for making study questions.
Recently started playing around with Aider for coding and OpenHands for similar stuff. Also pretty interested in the agentic workflows people have going, but there's a lot of hype out there, but I can see the potential. Still deciding whether local models will pass muster though. Will be trying them against ChatGPT and Claude models for comparison.
ComfyUI is amazing. Have been looking at it for fixing old photographs and turning them into videos. I've also been using it to create desktop wallpapers for personal use. There's a free Krita plugin that is really good and less technical than ComfyUI if that is your thing.
Really happy with You.com, particularly the new Auto that selects the best LLM automatically. My experience has been good so far, helping with analysing papers and criticising my essays. I've been using that as I used to use Google to be honest, when I want a more reliable and sophisticated answer or explanation (You provides the sources, which I can check, and I haven't experienced hallucinations).
Even basic things like what can I prepare with the ingredients I have at home, and adapting that to a different number of people.
I only use Google when You is not easily available, but I have it logged in my phone, personal and work computers.
For scientific content and evidence it is quite amazing really, particularly if the agent is directed to be critical and mindful of references, etc.
I've created multiple agents for different goals, including an agent to help creating agents for my goals.
I also ask You to suggest changes to my letters and emails based on my goals and who is receiving the email.
I also have set-up personalisation so there is no bullshit and paternalistic behaviour.
I wish I could talk to You.com as I can talk to ChatGPT and Copilot as sometimes it's handy."Even basic things like what can I prepare with the ingredients I have at home"
Amazing, Can you give me an example?
I don't cook and my wife owns the kitchen.
I love that arrangement, but I thonk she would go for an innocent suggestion like thisI'm hungry and don't have much at home. What could I quickly prepare with eggs, parmesan cheese, chicken thighs? I have a Philips multi cooker if that makes things easier.
Quick Meal Idea Using Eggs, Parmesan Cheese, and Chicken Thighs with a Philips Multi Cooker
You can make a simple and tasty Chicken Parmesan-inspired dish using your ingredients and multi cooker, even without bread crumbs or marinara sauce. Here’s a quick idea:
Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Thighs with Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients:
- Chicken thighs (boneless if possible, or debone them)
- Eggs
- Parmesan cheese (freshly grated if you can)
- Salt, pepper, and any herbs/spices you like (e.g., garlic powder, Italian seasoning)
Steps:
Prepare the chicken thighs:
- Pat dry the chicken thighs.
- Season with salt, pepper, and any herbs/spices.
- Coat the chicken thighs lightly with grated Parmesan cheese on both sides. This will create a flavorful crust when cooked.
Cook the chicken in the multi cooker:
- Use the "Sauté" or "Brown" function on your Philips multi cooker.
- Add a little oil or butter.
- Cook the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. The Parmesan will crisp up nicely.
Make scrambled eggs:
- Once the chicken is done, remove it and keep warm.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with a pinch of salt and some Parmesan cheese.
- Use the sauté function again, add a bit of butter or oil, and scramble the eggs gently until just set.
Serve:
- Plate the Parmesan-crusted chicken thighs alongside the cheesy scrambled eggs.
- Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan on top for more flavor.
Why this works:
- The Parmesan cheese crisps up on the chicken, giving a nice texture and flavor similar to chicken Parmesan but without breading or sauce,,.
- Scrambled eggs with Parmesan add richness and protein, making the meal filling and quick.
- Using the multi cooker’s sauté function speeds up cooking and keeps things simple.
If you want to get fancy and have some tomato sauce or pasta, you could add those, but this recipe works great with just what you have!
Would you like me to help you with a step-by-step recipe or variations?
ChatGPT. Its great for Docker configs and troubleshooting linux / helping with linux commands.
It's great for converting docker run commands to compose too.
AI can be brilliant in some aspects (coding, writing, finance), but the fact that it can create BS spontaneously and make it sound believable, means I can't fully trust the results, yet. It still needs a lot of hand holding, scrutinising, and multiple promptings to get it right. The dilemma is, what if you ask it about a subject that you don't know much about, how do you check if its results are correct?
It can be very helpful and real time saver in some cases and completely opposite in others.
- Simple coding. Reverse engineer projects to start contributing much quicker. Write small bash or python scripts.
- Write or refine documentation
- It was very helpful when picking colours for my home redesign.
- English is my second language and I often ask it to validate my grammar, word usage, etc.I think it fails miserably on relatively big/complex tasks/projects.
If am tasked to design a solution for a relatively complex project, I wouldn't even consult with it. It is usually a time waster and a risk if relying on it too much. It almost always comes up with some invalid facts, then proceeds to make decisions based on those facts, in a very confident and convenient manner. It also senses your point of view and tends to always agree with you, amplifying the wrong conclusions.
I often have to spend time and effort proving to management that the solutions ChatGPT provided won't work. It amazes me how much some managers trust AI to come up with solutions to problems they don’t fully understand or have experience with.Back in 70's when computers were first introduced, the paperless office was upon us and clerical jobs would disappear. It was the Goto rationalisation of "experts", who we now know are not worth th epaper thay are written on!!
What happened?
Your personal rubbish bin used to have your wax paper lunch wrap, an apple core, and mayce a used piece of carbon paper from your memo pad.
And office staff levels have exploded.
There is no point in being angry about whatever is going through your head about AI.
Remember how wrong Gates was about the internet. We don't know.
If you are raging abou a bystopian future, and if you are actially reading what you are saying, change your source.
Being able to introduce any cogent arguments will help to either spread your message of change your message. But anger is just destructiive to the human spiritMake this make sense.
if you are actially reading what you are saying, change your source.
Not reading, using critical thinking, something you seem to lack and depend on AI for
I've been using chatgpt as a language tutor. I already have a basic grasp of Italian and Chinese so using it to refine my grammar to sound more natural as well as role playing practice. It's pretty good. Probably not as good as paying a human tutor but it's free.
Who are you using
I use all humans.
how is it working
AI works using large amounts of data and algorithms running on powerful hardware.
what are you using it for
I've currently got it writing poems about how it's going to kill me.
particularly amazing topics
It's also writing me a PhD dissertation about what kind of animal feces would taste good in coffee.
It's also writing me a PhD dissertation about what kind of animal feces would taste good in coffee.
share the abstract or the conclusions?
Assuming they are referring to Kopi Luwak. Though I have seen thesis on the bounciness of orange variant when drop on the ground so who knows.
Currently its number one recommendation is to hold your coffee cup under a cow's backside just when it's about to let rip.
Oh I see, a Post hole Digger dissertation.
I presume your PhD is based on Kopi Luwak.
No. It's analyzing the fresh feces of all animals to determine the best taste combination.
Are you saying this is a shit post?
It's also writing me a PhD dissertation about what kind of animal feces would taste good in coffee.
Already been done.
Kopi Luwak.
Ended up switching to Gemini Pro with the year trial.
For me the recent update has made it the best, more useful than Claude or ChatGPT, at least for their free versions.
I use it to compare features and products and help make decisions. It's interesting but in many ways I see it being far more likely to replace ceos and managers than admin type staff.
replace ceos and managers
How can frontline workers possibly do their jobs without CEOs attending catered lunch meetings?
And where will the leadership and synergies come from then? /s
What is that "al" thingy? And why in uppercase?
Is that the Spanish "al" … which It essentially translates to "to the" or "at the" when referring to a masculine singular noun.
Asking for a friend.
Where's all the people with the $3000 GPUs, surely they didn't buy those just to play games…
This has been a fascinating threadLots of contributions very little of anger and Negs, but a huge overload of informnation to a novice like me.
Can some one tell me how to upload this to the best AI for the task, and sort it into Categories with info for each.
Something I can absorb,Thanks
Done.

Thought for 9 seconds
Here’s a high-level summary of the “How Is AI Working for You” thread on OzBargain (Page 2)
OzBargain
:Original poster’s experience
• Clickbait is primarily using ChatGPT, tried Grok but found it clunky, and appreciates AI for cutting through ads and jargon—from helping with car repairs to translating medical notes into plain language.
OzBargainCommon use cases
• Coding & DevOps: Docker configurations, Linux commands, writing small scripts, and reverse-engineering code.
• Writing & Editing: Drafting emails, summarising documents, refining grammar (especially for non-native speakers), and generating personas.
• Research & Learning: Summarising papers, transcribing videos (e.g. with Whisper), extracting text from images, and even role-playing language practice.
• Everyday Tasks: Meal planning based on on-hand ingredients, picking home-renovation colours, and preparing simple legal or court documents.
OzBargainTools & Platforms Mentioned
• Cloud-based: ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot/enterprise Copilot, You.com, Gemini Pro, Grok.
• Local LLMs: Ollama/OpenWebUI with qwen3, cogito, gemma3 models; ComfyUI for image-to-video workflows; Aider and OpenHands for coding assistance.
OzBargainBenefits & Advantages
• Significant time-savings for routine tasks and simple coding.
• Clean, ad-free interface compared to web search.
• Ability to tailor tone and style (e.g. creating specific “personas”).
• Enhanced clarity—turning complex or jargon-filled text into plain language.
OzBargainCautions & Criticisms
• Hallucinations: AI confidently fabricates facts, requiring careful verification.
• Manipulation Risk: Concern AI-generated content and images/videos could be used for persuasion and influence.
• Over-reliance: Unsuitable for large or complex projects without expert oversight.
• Bias & Echo Chamber: Tendency to flatter or align with user’s viewpoint unless explicitly instructed otherwise.
OzBargainLight-hearted Tangents
• Jokes about AI writing a “PhD dissertation” on what animal feces tastes best in coffee.
• Funny banter around “holding your cup under a cow’s backside.”
OzBargainMattyman’s takeaway
• Uses ChatGPT as a starting point or draft generator, feeding it bullet-point ideas and asking for polished write-ups, as well as experimenting with custom personas.
OzBargainSo even AI is denial about the obvious overreach,lack of oversight and long term harms. Individual developers just got their versions out as quick as possible before the sheep change their (ever shrinking) minds.
All this saved time. so much relaxing ahead.Especially when it takes the jobs of the current users.Especially when it takes the jobs of the current users.
But then when the hordes of useless eaters are unemployed and out of money, who will pay for the services of the AI overlords?… Enter public-private partnerships (aka fascism aka techno-neo-feudalism).
@tenpercent: The "useless eaters" will be eating each other by then.The whole direction of the new world order is pretty much go hard, go fast and see who the last man standing is, wherever it lands.. Ironically each of the main players thinks it's going to be them. LOL. Much like a Tarantino shoot out.
Can some one tell me how to upload this to the best AI for the task, and sort it into Categories with info for each.
Something I can absorb,Can you actually do anything yourself anymore?
Who needs you anymore?Congrats you have managed to wipe yourself out, worthless human.
Isn't there already toliets that does that (wash and dry) for you?
I use ChatGPT for most things. But it's only as a starting point or draft.
I find jotting down ideas in point form and asking ChatGPT to draft something out of that works well most of the time.
Persona's are fun. Creating a ChatGPT of Brendan Lee Mulligan in Monologue mode is surprisingly fun.I find the AI overview in Google searches often to be trash, collated from random old and incorrect info.
ChatGPT though I sometimes use to modify other peoples scripts and stuff, regex etc that I usually get wrong.
One thing I tried recently was making isometric artwork based on a photo as per this tutorial. Didn't go so far as animating it but I was impressed with what came back.
Oh, and musicgeneratorai.com is a bit of fun…
Overall, I'd rather have cheaper graphics cards than AI :)
I’m a retiree exploring AI through vibe coding, image recognition and generation, and documentation. I’ve tested a variety of AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Grok 3, Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek, Meta, Qwen, and Claude.
You can view the results of my vibe coding experiments across different platforms here.
Based on my experience with this particular project, I would rank the top three AI platforms for coding as:
Claude (best)
Gemini
ChatGPT
Isn't Grok up there?
For the same project, Grok couldn't even get it right so I gave up on it. Perhaps I'll try again on Grok 4 once it's available.
