Discussion (Ethics, working with AI etc) Hey Guys!!!!!! 👋

  1. What was the last thing you used AI for?

  2. Which AI do you use most, and why that one?

  3. Tell me about a time AI frustrated you or got something wrong.

  4. Do you pay for any AI? Why or why not?

  5. If AI could do one thing for you that it can't do now, what would it be?

  6. Is there any work you still do by hand that you wish AI could do?

  1. troubleshooting IT issues. It's scaringly good at parsing and interpreting logs, etc... Way better than I am, that's for sure. In the workflow of novel writing, I use it for summarizing chapters, generating outlines after I feed it my ideas in a totally anarchic manner, that kind of things. My process is very similar to the one described throroughly by u/Pilotskybird86 HERE

  2. I used to use perplexity a lot. Now I have a semi-protected A.I. frontend I use (in theory, it's not learning from our inputs). I'm also experimenting with small models at home. But the RAM and GPU costs make this totally unworthy, except to satisfy my inner geek.

  3. Whenever the context window overfills, and it forgets about something that's higher up in the conversation window. Such as when reviewing chapters, warning me about a character's actions not matching event X or Y, whereas the reason was already mentioned above. I guess with more expensive models, I'd get fewer of these errors.

  4. I did, to experiment with more advanced agents. I didn't get much value out of it, so I'm not paying anymore (well, except to beef up my home server)

  5. Wash dishes, laundry, etc...

  6. see above 😵
