I know the reputation that AI has on Lemmy, however I've found that some users (like myself) have found that LLMs can be useful tools.

What are fellow AI users using these tools for? Furthermore, what models are you using that find the most useful?

I'm going to need you to elaborate on this one...

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Not the person you asked, but I have a similar use-case.

I write a lot of emails for work. Most of them are written from templates that I'll use dozens of times a day, and some of those templates are just large blocks of text full of information that are ugly and hard to read.

I'll sometimes take these templates, plug them into ChatGPT, and ask it to reword the email. Perhaps I want it to have a more empathetic tone for an emotionally-elevated user, or maybe I need it to sound more technical for a more knowledgeable user, or simplify the explanation for a less knowledgeable user, etc. I'll then use that output as a base to write my own version from there.

None of the GPT output goes into my actual emails, though. I'm mostly using it for inspiration purposes, to help me write my own messages with verbiage or perspectives I may not have originally considered. It's super useful when you have a user who just isn't understanding your instructions and you need to word it differently, or if you just need a fresh take on some stale templates.

Exactly ! Same here

Thank you for the response, and I can totally relate.

I like that GPT can help me brainstorm and then I take the reigns from there. Not everything in my career is crystal clear and more often than not, my boss is asking me for solutions because he doesn't already have answers.

I find that things like GPT really help as jumping off points that help to get the conversation started in real life situations.
