Other than blog and copy generation, what are you using it for?
I find most AI I have access to either bloats text too much, or is just too wrong to actually save me time. I work in a technical field however, so might have higher requirements than others.
There is a lot of do with it, but off the top of my head. I use it to quickly display definitions and parts of speech for lists of words.
I copy text from a pdf which isn’t always great as I use ocrmypdf so the characters sometimes are wrong and there is a bunch of extra returns. So, I just paste that mess into chatgpt and ask it to format the text.
I can copy homework assignments and then ask it to make a new assignment on the same topic. It literally saved me like 40 minutes today by creating homework assignments for my students.
I still proofread for accuracy, but I rarely have any issues with it.
In addition to work stuff, in my personal life it’s been able to answer tech questions, help me write some python scripts quickly, it also is able to get me pricing information for random stuff like cat vaccines in my area. The info wasn’t posted on any of the vets websites. It gave me a range and when I finally got the price, it was directly in the middle.
Today for example, my wife and I were wondering about the thick hotel pillows and we just opened the app and asked with our voice. We got all the info we needed in like 5 seconds.
Sorry to rant, but it’s just been an extremely useful tool.
I also run it locally and plan to further its use by having it create lessons for me from books that I paste into the prompt. But im not sure how well this will work yet.
ChatGPT 3.5 and Google Gemini mostly. Someone Microsoft copilot.
I mostly choose the one that’s most convenient in that moment. I don’t ever measure performance or capability.
My local home server doesn’t have a gpu yet, but I might get one to run some models locally, but I’m not sure whether I care to spend the money to do that or not.
Wow, either you are much more skilled than anyone I know at these tasks, and/or you work in a very different way. I tried for two weeks to figure out how to get something useful out of it, but got only garbage.
It was very good at generic text, much less so at concise, insightful, technical, or argumentative text, which is most of what I sell.
I have a very small business and it has helped me tremendously in many different ways.
Anytime someone says it’s not good or stupid, just doesn’t have a good use case for it yet.

What tools are you using for this? The one’s I’ve tried have had nowhere near acceptable quality for these tasks.
