What are some good uses for AI? (piefed.social)

AI can't be all that bad. The problem I'm always seeing with AI is a double-edged sword. You have corporations shoving AI in just about everything, treating it like its a cure for cancer and that really rubs people the wrong way. Then, on a more of a society level, you've got people who use AI for an assortment of things like making art with AI and still accredit themselves as an artist to people who treat AI like a therapist when it is not advised to.

However, I've found some benefits with AI. For example, I'm chatting with ChatGPT on credit cards, because it is something I may lean towards getting into. It's helping me better understand than most people have tried explaining to me. Simply because it is giving me a more stream-lined response than people just beating the bush.

Honestly, Google Search has been better the last couple years after spending the previous twenty years getting consistently worse.

Most of what I use Google for is trivial. Like how old is a certain actor, or why was this author canceled, or what does this item do in a video game?

It's great for those things. Especially the video game stuff. I don't want to watch a 10 minute video just to get a discrete answer, and now I don't have to.

I can even ask it for spoiler-free hints on a particular puzzle, and most of the time it gives me something useful.
