Never used it, never will - and I see it as very negative. Getting questionable info for a metric shit-ton of real-world resource usage is not a good thing.
Google now gives verifyably false information. So thats cool.
Searched today for “Dynmap default port”. Gemini gave me Minecrafts default port (25565), and then made up another port (25566). The actual port, as per the first real link, was 8123.
Though in his case, its never for info, but grammer. English is his third language, and always something he has struggled with. Doesnt help that he has a teaching job (he teaches in the local language, but the assigned books are all English).
Both him and his editor/wife proclaim Chatgpt a godsend.
One line scripts are usually ok fir chatgpt to produce but I don’t use it for anything larger anymore. I tried using it for programming, but found I couldn’t expand or maintain what it produced very easily and would save time by just doing it myself in the first place. Sometimes it’ll give me library suggestions that I hadn’t known about. Overall it’s been a slightly positive influence once you learn what it’s capable of and don’t believe that it’s just magic.
Agreed, I’ve had some success using it essentially as a replacement for how I used to use Stackexchange, which is to remind me of a syntax or make a little function when I have to do some scripting once every few months, but I don’t trust it for anything more than the basics.
I’m regularly using ChatGPT to find the name of movies and books based on the few things I remember about them. It’s almost impossible with a regular web search, as I often lack the exact term used in a movie.
It’s somewhat useful when I don’t know what I’m looking for (a thing that blah and blah, but not blah, yada-yada) or need a quick answer to a broad unimportant question: seo currently prioritizes sites with stupid ai-generated essays with little to no relevant info, so I might as well get an ai-generated answer that is at least on the subject and not the history of its invention by drunk octapedal apes in the middle of Alaska in 1337 bce.
Personal life - I’ve used it for idea generation like, “what can I make from x, y, z ingredients” or “what are some activities I can use to teach 4th graders about aerodynamics”.
I despise it at work. I am on the verge of having to fire someone on my team for its misuse.
It caused my brother to stop talking to me. He doesn’t understand how ChatGPT works, so he’s trying to woo his way to GenAI by layering some sort of fake ass natural language computation system on top of the spicy auto complete.

It helps a lot when I need to summarize a lot of PDF. For anything else, it’s literally shit.

This is definitely not piracy related.
Not me, but a relative uses it.

Improved autocorrect and grammar check is literally the only acceptable use of “AI” that I can think of.

At my work we just make fun of all the BS hype, etc.

I couldn’t find a problem for which I needed IA as a solution. It may happen in the future though.

I use it as a better spell check then word.
