@falcennial I hate how much crap gets generated with it. But then I just give it 6 pages of chats from coworkers on how to optimize the database, tell it to make me a terraform patch for acceptance and production on proposed changes and it just does it. It's such a double edged sword.
@toolsontech interesting. over my head but I get the broad point.

@falcennial Less than once a month as a last resort I'll cave and enter a specifically worded query with requests for citations specifically including books because Internet search is not what it used to be and doesn't index old or rarely updated stuff.
@indigoparadox I miss old search too! duck duck go still has one.

@falcennial I've never "chatted" with one. I do regularly use one to assist in writing code. Does that count?
So either never or multiple times a week.
HAven't voted yet -- will do that with clarification. -
@AdamDavis agreed, those two different contexts would be more interesting as separate questions.
@falcennial
Yes, but from an environmental (maybe even ethical) standpoint, the total use is what matters. -

@AdamDavis woops, I replied in a tangential context but u feel me.

@falcennial Probably should put, not at all. But I DID try it in the beginning. Asked to compare translations of two versions of Tao Te Ching; it failed miserably (but that was a while back). Once tried to brainstorm a shop name. It wasn’t helpful in that either. So gave up and moved on. That was in 2024, I guess?

@falcennial None, if you don't count the multiple times a day that I curse Gemini back into its hole for touching the power button for a picosecond too long on my android phone.

@falcennial does “only when it’s the only way to contact customer support” count as “not at all”?

@falcennial You really need a "very rarely" option. I couldn't honestly say not at all because every once in a while I'll try something on the local Ollama install I have, just to see if I still find it disappointing, and when I inevitably do, I don't touch it for a few months again. I don't use the cloud hosted ones at all. But "a few times a month" is definitely way overstating my usage.
-
@falcennial Yeah. I'm privileged in that I don't have to use them for work, but some people are forced to, I read.
@adriano @falcennial Unwillingly yes, support services are mostly chatbot first.
-

@falcennial
NP. In my clumsy way, I'm trying to say this poll is valuable, even though I feel guilty for not being able to select the "never" option.I have been thinking a bit about the dubious things people will do for work which they wouldn't do on their own. So, a poll that highlights that would be interesting.

@falcennial Can one technically chat with an LLM?
-
@falcennial None, if you don't count the multiple times a day that I curse Gemini back into its hole for touching the power button for a picosecond too long on my android phone.
@GranVegas @falcennial you can usually (well as least I can, Samsung S25) set the side buttton long press to do something else (mine goes to the power off menu).
And I also have the Gemini App and all AI features disabled. -

@falcennial
never willing - but some websites will not put you in touch with customer service until you attempt to use their chatbot; which is never actually helpful -

@falcennial How often I chat with an LLM? Given that the way we now need to file IT or HR tickets at work is by first harrassing the obligatory "helpful chatbot" into allowing me to file a ticket, too bloody often.

@falcennial do you mean chat as in hold casual conversation, or as in interact at all? I use them, but strictly as tools, not for conversation.
