I know the reputation that AI has on Lemmy, however I’ve found that some users (like myself) have found that LLMs can be useful tools.

What are fellow AI users using these tools for? Furthermore, what models are you using that find the most useful?

    I think I’ve found the one area where LLMs really excel: business books / self help literature. The real life examples in that genre are pretty awful and dragged out as it is, so you can’t really make it much worse, now can you? The information density is kept low to fluff up the page count, and oh boy, are LLMs good at that. So, if you want to become a self help guru, but can’t be bothered to write your own book about magical hotels, marriage advice, productivity tips and communication, LLMs can take care of that for you. Copilot has turned out to work well for projects like that.

    If you raise the bar, you’re going to have to read and edit the text manually. You also need to keep track of what has already been mentioned elsewhere and avoid repeating them again, depending on the genre. In business books though, that’s not a problem at all.

    BTW, if you wonder about the downvotes, it’s because Asklemmy@lemmy.world isn’t a safe space for AI related discussions. Consider posting somewhere else.

        The main point of the post is to ask a question. Apparently that is something people disagree with. Maybe they don’t like what the question implies.

          You say in your post 'BTW, if you wonder about the downvotes, it’s because Asklemmy@lemmy.world isn’t a safe space for AI related discussions. ’

          A safe space is where we can debate, disagree or downvote each other. If you receive death threats, harrassment, stalking and so on, this is definitely not a safe space.

          People disliking Generative stuff have their reasons for it.
