I run a board game store, so just for a chuckle I asked it about what's popular this year or what to order and kept getting the same answer about only having accurate data from 2021 and prior.
Yeah I use it, but only as a rubber duckie. I never put in code unless I understand what it's doing, and most of the time I'm just using it as a sounding board. Since it never returns the right code on the first try anyways haha
It's great at directing and narrowing your search, and when it knows, it does a great job. Problem is when it doesn't know it just makes shit up. I was using it earlier today to debug some error messages and it just came up with some non existent cli parameters. You still need to know what you're doing and test everything first.
We openly use it to generate placeholder text. No hiding necessary.
Personally I prefer quality over quantity so I donβt use it
Used in small doses to generate text with some degree of precision is helpful. I do find it to be a good way to cut out boring email writing. But I would recommend it more as a text generation tool than a fact generation tool. With the right expectations and work flow it fits right in. And no I don't consider it plagiarism if the client's demand is boring.
I've used it in a few occasions, mostly to find better terms and adjusting the tone for my emails. Also finding what acronym stands for and understanding technical issues. Asking to explain like I'm a 5 yo or beginner saved me some time from doing long researches on google.
I've used ai in general a few years ago as a companion till for writing seo optimized articles. It was ok at that time, and would do maybe 30% of the work I needed, but I would still have to go back in and make major edits or it would only pop out a sentence at a time so I would be contently prompting it.
My wife is a full time writer for a company and she uses it all the time to create emails and speeches. She says the leaks and bounds in actual usability is pretty insane. Like, one prompt can give her an entire speech.
Won't do, too much vernacular in my line of work.
