I learned that AI chat bots aren't necessarily trustworthy in everything. In fact, if you aren't taking their shit with a grain of salt, you're doing something very wrong.
This is my personal take. As long as you're careful and thoughtful whenever using them, they can be extremely useful.
Could you tell me what you use it for because I legitimately don't understand what I'm supposed to find helpful about the thing.
We all got sent an email at work a couple of weeks back telling everyone that they want ideas for a meeting next month about how we can incorporate AI into the business. I'm heading IT, so I'm supposed to be able to come up with some kind of answer and yet I have nothing. Even putting aside the fact that it probably doesn't work as advertised, I still can't really think of a use for it.
The main problem is it won't be able to operate our ancient and convoluted ticketing system, so it can't actually help.
Everyone I've ever spoken to has said that they use it for DMing or story prompts. All very nice but not really useful.
@echodot @Redex68 off top of my head, script generation. making content more readable. dictating a brain dump while walking and having it spit out a cohesive summary.
it's all about the prompt you put in. shit in/shit out. And making sure you check/understand what it spits out. and that sometimes it's garbage.
