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?

If we are talking chatbots I see them as another level of abstraction to search and is useful but I have concerns on the energy use. Other uses I have encountered is just sorta a convenience thing. Where it can do a bunch of things that individual software can do but at a one stop shop. I have not directly been involved in other aspects but im aware how they are baked into things like facial recognition and tracking and such.
Dont use AI chat as a replacement for search except on popular subjects with broad consensus. Which unfortunately is when you generally don’t need it.
its fine as long as it gives references to check out. I mean its not fine because of the energy usage but if that is solved I would use it for search. again as long as it tells me sources.
If what you want is sources, a regular Google search will do a better job if it’s a popular subject.
Chatgpt and it’s kin will be inexplicably creative in its choice of sources, and in its summary thereof. And in the sources themselves sometimes.
If it’s something you care to get right, just skip AI.
If it’s meaningless, then it’s harmless in its potential inaccuracy
See just like a normal search its up to you to evaluate it. ai search wise is as I said another abstraction. Not using it is like turning off the little snipets search engines do nowadays and going back to just clicking an each and every link. The problem is people just taking the response as gospel with no critical thought.
Like a normal search, except it only provides like 4 links, it’s choice of links is even worse than Google SEO, and it provides inaccurate summaries of them rather than relevant text snippets.
So yes, people just taking the response as gospel is bad. But also it’s just worse than search if you’re using it as a search.
