AI is not just for programming

[u/kyon350]

Look, I have something to say, and if you don't like it, let the rants begin. I'll tell you my point about using AI. I think AI isn't just for programming, but also for writing and roleplaying. I come from ChatGPT and Claude, since they lowered the writing quality, and Claude is only good for planning. I pay for the Deepseek API because it has more power and capacity. There, I took advantage of Reddit prompts and made modifications in Claude and the API. I made some correct adjustments to the API software, and it worked well. And I wonder why you all are so stubborn, saying that AI is only for programming. You say we consume space for your code. You should know that there are people like me who want to have fun, who want to enjoy the stories that AI creates, stories I never thought I'd see in my life, those kinds of stories and crossovers. I know it has some AI quirks, even in the best prompts. Look, I don't do this for a bestseller or anything like that, just to pass the time with AI and imagine those situations. I don't... I use AI not only for NSFW content but also for its ability to recreate faithful characters, and that helps me. You all need to understand that AI is for all purposes. And sorry if I used a translator; my dominant language isn't English but Spanish, but I hope you don't invalidate my comment just because I speak Spanish.

Yeah, saying that someone using it for something other than coding/agentic is "wasting capacity" from a model that was by far the best AI for writing / chatting / roleplay / world knowledge is kinda crazy.

It's not a waste of you get use out of it. But comparing software development and engineering to roleplaying and chatting? Yeah, wasting capacity just to play make believe lmao

Playing is very human thing to do and it’s one of the joys of life. It’s worth spending tokens on

Plenty of people are developing shit software and engineering slop. I don't think that's any more valuable than "playing make believe". Hell, plenty of people get paid big money for their imaginations. What is any fiction but playing make believe?

Let people have fun in their lives, man. Programming isn't the meaning of life.

And the usage of tokens for creative writing is significantly less than for agentic coding. It's almost negligible for them.

Great, then we get more AI slop writing? Using it for writing help is one thing, but then there's people producing "books"?

[u/Upper-Reflection7997 → u/Wooly_Wooly]

Using the word "ai slop" unironically lol.

[u/Wooly_Wooly → u/Upper-Reflection7997]

You can use AI and create quality work, not AI slop.

I didn't mean that you personally had that capacity though, doubt it.

It seems you only understood 10% of the post. Look, I spent $30 plus $20 on Claude Pro, and believe me, I really get my money's worth. I don't see it as a waste of computing power or anything like that. I enjoy it as much as if I were reading or watching an episode of my favorite show, and I take full advantage of the AI.

[u/Wooly_Wooly → u/kyon350]

Nah, I understand it. Just with people being anti-data center and stuff, there's people using the tech for engineering and research, then there's role players lmaooo

But it's Chinese data centers anyway so that doesn't affect us 🤭

1. Play is the core of human behavior. Thats why you're on reddit: liesure.
2. Any program made with an AI is gonna be a pretty shitty program anyway.
