How often do you use AI? [i.e. ChatGPT / Grok]

[Yoder]

I've used it a few times. Recently to write a letter of recommendation.

 

[robtattoo]

Not once.

 

[MuleyFever]

Really just the AI answers that come up from a Google search. I have used it a few times at work.

I only use it during hunting season to generate pictures of me with dead bucks and bulls to post on Rokslide

I recently repaired a commercial range hood exhaust fan for my DIL’s restaurant. I took it apart and installed new bearings. The job itself wasn’t that bad but the location of the fan, greasiness, and weather made for some fairly profound suckage.

I want to use AI to generate a romance novel cover, but I don’t know how.

On the cover will be a picture of a handsome bearded man with no shirt on holding a huge crescent wrench. His yoked bronze musculature is lit up by a sunbeam. Behind him, a filthy rooftop fan housing radiates menace under a glowering winter sky. The title?

EXHAUST FAN !!
One man’s lonely struggle against neglected maintenance!

Other than that I don’t know what to do with it. Yet…..

Just to make characters.

Maybe a few other images.


I perfectly capable of writing inaccurate stuff myself.

I’ve used it once to make this picture of my cousins dog after it died. I put it on a hoodie and sent it to her

I sometimes feed my emails into the thing and ask them to make my emails more “sniveling bitch friendly”.

It actually does clean them up to the point that I at least don’t have to attach a hurt feelings report with some emails.

I use Grok, it's been a great tool for investing and anything stock related. Recently had it start giving me some geology courses to study up on and I've been pretty impressed with what it comes up with.

 

[RADunfee]

Never have. I refuse. Don't even know how.

I use it every day to do menial tasks I don’t want to do myself such as calculating complex profits, royalties and costs associated with my side gig. Works great. I also ask it how to do things with certain programs like photoshop etc, . But never ask it to do it for me.

As a guy once put it to me: AI is like a librarian - the better prompt you give it, the better the result.

Ask chat gpt to draw a picture of a clock with hands that says 6:28… it’ll always draw one with them on 10 and 2.

Or ask it to draw a guy writing a check with his left hand.

If you’re still in the workforce and you’re not learning to master AI utilization, you’ll be a dinosaur in a few years.

As a guy once put it to me: AI is like a librarian - the better prompt you give it, the better the result.

Here’s your hack for that - start your prompt with “what is the best prompt for [ChatGPT or whatever you’re using] to answer the following question?,” then type your question like normal. Refine the prompt if needed, copy and paste.

The younger developers on my team use it all the time. I probably need to start using it more.
