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.

              Drafts, coming up with ideas you may not have thought of initially
Grading whatever you write against the quality of other trained material, especially research papers (LLMs tend to be trained more on those material)
For LLMs that search the internet/cite sources, it can be a more powerful search engine. Enter a keyword, the LLM can guess other semantic terms related to your search prompt/terms and refine the results that way. The additional search results cited matter to me more than the response itself (which can hallucinate, but have a niche role as a wildcard if you're the type to pattern-match concepts into new ideas)
