How are you using AI? [View all]

I've tried it for several things. It can construct a plan of action, say for learning software or painting your house. It can also spit out useful doggerel, if you have the patience to edit and rewrite. I find it tends to be melodramatic and verbose.

How's it going for you? Or don't you bother with it anymore.

I believe it. FalloutShelter Feb 2024 #17

It's not an opinion, you are correct Polybius Feb 2024 #12

I'm guessing that by true AI you mean AGI. And as you said, we're not there yet, and there's a lot highplainsdem Feb 2024 #15

You are "confused" by marketing hype. Your dryer is not actually not self-learning on how to dry clothes. Earth-shine Feb 2024 #25

Avoiding it as much as possible, snot Feb 2024 #11

Which of the generative AI chatbots have you been using? highplainsdem Feb 2024 #14

There's enough risk of copyright issues with AI-generated images that some of the companies highplainsdem Feb 2024 #20

I did just fine with it. No one will sue me or even want to. Earth-shine Feb 2024 #21
