@falcennial for work, often. almost never on my own.

[zjb@mastodon.social]

oh I've been talking to mine almost daily lately, it's become a weird habit tbh. curious to see how the poll turns out!

[_r@donotsta.re]

@falcennial@mastodon.social I voted "not at all" since last time was several months ago. even if I didn't find them morally questionable, I just have very little use for LLMs. the one thing they're useful for is looking up stuff using vague descriptors, and … I just don't need that very often.

@mensrea@freeradical.zone @falcennial@mastodon.social @indigoparadox@mastodon.social mojeek.com is more like old search engines used to be. suffers a bit from having a relatively small dataset, but it's really good for if you have precise search parameters for something not entirely obscure.

@disorderlyf @falcennial @Rhodium103 I don't think any attempt at communicating where you're being deceived into it counts as "chatting with a chatbot".

[kitkat_blue@mastodon.social]

@falcennial

It would be really
interesting to repeat this exact survey in a year's time and see what changes.

@falcennial I don't know what you want to know. I use it, maybe once or twice a week, but I don't chat with it. I ask him help on some program, but that's not a chat - it simply can't be.

@falcennial The only use I've found for it is literally for searching the web. Google search, as we all know, has become absolutely wretched. I wish I could do better with DDG or Startpage, but sadly, I don't get any super useful results there either. Most of the time with an LLM, I get the exact link with the info I need.. I just tell it go find this on the web, give me the link, don't summarize. I get my link and I'm on my way. It Googles (the verb) better than Google.

@falcennial I use quite a lot to practice conversation in Korean. For me it is useful to practice other languages.

[aoi_x_kaizaki@mastodon.social]

@falcennial I don't know what LLM is.

[cowboywho@libranigans.com]

@falcennial the closest I've come to a "chat" was asking Chat-GPT to "Create a Sherlock Holmes based character that Commander Data couldn't beat." It dutifully complied.

[defuneste@fosstodon.org]

@falcennial I do not "chat" but I can't avoid "google whatever they call it" at $work, ie click and on link it provides.

[kjhank@social.vivaldi.net]

@falcennial @rysiek Unfortunately, the place I work at forces me to vote for the last option.

[azad@toot.community]

@falcennial Never used it for any conversation, felt that was boring and a privacy risk.
Only used it for synthesizing data and coding assistant.

[berryfigapple@mastodon.social]

@falcennial But I never chat with an LLM. I ask it to assemble some data for me, seveal times a week. BUT by writing a badly defined question, you get badly understood results.

[crow@irlqt.net]

@falcennial@mastodon.social i have cats for this purrpose

[drorbedrack@mastodon.social]

@falcennial Sir, this is Mastodon

[boydstephensmithjr@hachyderm.io]

@falcennial I have chatted with LLMs before, but it has been more than a month since the last time I chatted with an LLM.

I will not disclose the option I selected, in an attempt to preserve my anonymity, as requested.

[falcennial@mastodon.social]

@em_and_future_cats aw man.
