AI

Big assumption that we all use AI. Some of us don't as per company policy.

I find myself using it nearly daily. Pretty close to it anyway. I don't feel badly about it but I get frustrated when it gives false data. I end up correcting it and it's not about critical things.. so I still go back to it. It'll be interesting to see how much better it gets and how fast that takes.

I use the ChatGPT Google Sheets extension pretty much every day to create tables, charts, and all kinds of lists for various clients and projects. The results are excellent, and it saves me a significant amount of time.

I use it all day.

On a daily basis. I think it's a fun toy with limited, but very real utility. I frequently search it for information instead of Google or Bing because search and the web in general has gotten so bad - full of fake information ads and garbage SEO sites that are just as wrong about everything as AI hallucinations.

I do that knowing the answers I get are unreliable, but maybe I need to confirm something that I think I remember. It's also decent for rubber duck troubleshooting so you aren't wasting someone else's time. I recently relied heavily (but not exclusively) on it to set up something in AWS which I've never done before. It was a big help.

Once per week. I feel fine with my own use. Not so much with everyone else using it. I occasionally read some texts or summaries that just feel off. And which are riddled with inaccuracies to plain wrong information. They sometimes make it to the top search results and drown out useful content. I'm always angry at people if they're dishonest and don't tell me this might all be wrong info and has been generated by ChatGPT. I'm fine with honest people, though. But it's really split as of now.

Why am I seeing duplicate posts in Jerboa? Not from all instances, but still.

Constantly, unfortunately.
I work in Cyber Security and you can't swing a Cat-5 'o Nine Tails without hitting some vendor talking up the "AI tools" in their products. Some of them are kinda OK. Mostly, this is language models providing relevant documentation or code snippets, stuff which was previously found by a bit of googling. The problem is that AI has been stuffed into network and system analysis, looking for anomalous activity. And every single one of those models is complete shit. While they do find anomalies, it's mostly because they alert of so much stuff, generating so many false positives, that they get one right by blind chance. If you want to make money on a model, sell it to a security vendor. Those of us who have to deal with the tools will hate you, but CEOs and CISOs are eating that shit up right now. If you want to make something actually useful, make a model which identifies and tunes out false positives from other models.

I use it rarely.

I refuse to contribute to the acceleration of climate change. Especially due to fivolity such as the mass production of fast fashion style memes. Used once, and thrown away forever. I will not permit the continued violation of our rights used to create llms. Big tech and the government's use of mass survailence and ai have solidified our position in the distopian present. So no. I don't use ai. But I do recycle. And at least I think I'm fun at parties...

I don't understand the image. Is that supposed to be a Venn diagram?

Anyway, to answer your question, I use GitHub Copilot for all of my coding work, and ChatGPT here and there throughout the week. They've both been great productivity boosters. Sometimes, it also gets hoisted onto me when I don't want it. Like when trying to talk to customer service, or Notion trying to put words in my mouth when I accidentally hit the wrong keyboard shortcut.
