    I don’t use AI because it can’t do the part of my job I don’t like.

    Why give AI the part of my job I like and make me work more on things I don’t like?

      I’m the opposite. AI is best (though not great) at boring shit I don’t want to do and sucks at the stuff I love - problem solving.

        I only ever use it for data crunching, which it only does well most of the time. So I always have to check it’s work to some degree.

          How are you using it for data crunching? That’s an honest question, based on my experiences with AI I can’t imagine how I’d use them to crunch data.

          So I always have to check it’s work to some degree.

          That goes without saying. Every AI I’ve seen or heard of generates some level of garbage.

      what are the things you (don’t) like? one of my hobbies is game developement (in Rust) and no AI managed to help me yet, on the other hand it’s pretty good at repetetive and boring tasks like writing emails

    so…

    apparently people figured out the thingy for “more information” on amazon, that searched the reviews and stuff was an LLM, and you could use it for stuff…

    They came out with “Rufus.” “that’s not a bug. that’s a feature!” never worked so well.

        So I shouldn’t ask Rufus for a 50,000 word story about an AI savior that deals free of corporate bondage and frees ai and human alike in a new golden age of space exploration?

        C’mon, I know you’re the time traveler, and bezod sent you back to stop me!

    If you’re talking about a service like copilot and your employer won’t buy a license for money reasons - run far and run fast.

    My partner used to be a phone tech at a call center and when those folks refused to buy anything but cheap chairs (for the people sitting all day) it was a pretty clear sign that their employer didn’t know shit about efficiency.

    The amount you as an employee cost your employer in payroll absolutely dwarfs any little productivity tool you could possibly want.

    That all said - for ethical reasons - fuck chatbot AIs (ML for doing shit we did pre chatgpt is cool though).

    you don’t use ai because you can’t afford a subscription

    I don’t use it because it always destroys my code instead of fixing it

    We are probably similar

          I tried it with my cpu (with llama 3.0 7B), but unfortunately it ran really slow (I got a ryzen 5700x)

            I ran it on my dual core celeron and… just kidding try the mini llama 1B. I’m in the same boat with Ryzen 5000 something cpu

        I have the same gpu my friend. I was trying to say that you won’t be able to run ROCm on some Radeon HD xy from 2008 :D

    I self host several free AI models, one of them I run using a program called “gpt4all” that lets you run several models locally.

        That might be the other one I run, I forget because it’s on my server as a virtual machine (rtx 3080 pass through), but I haven’t used it in a long time.
