@falcennial
Chat?As in "Add the appropriate HTML tags to this plain text because I'm a lazy bastard?" about once a month.
Actually have a conversation? Not since ChatGPT was first released to see what it would do and it got real boring real fast.
@Rhodium103 @falcennial This is very nearly a perfect summary of my feelings.
But to put it even more simply:
"Have I EVER _willingly_ (ie, without threat, implicit or otherwise, of losing my job) talked to an LLM?"
No.

How frequently do you chat with LLM?
@falcennial What do you mean by chat? Do you mean use it?
-
Chat as in talking with a person? Never
Chat as in "do this task" ? That's my day job now@javascript really good context
-
@chopsstephens @atlefren one of the many thoughtful people commented earlier that they removed the chatbot festure to use pronouns to address itself pretending to be a person. 🤌🤌🤌
could be a good basis for legislation to protect against the psychosis where people are manipulated into taking it for a person.

@falcennial What do you mean by chat? Do you mean use it?
@brandonbutler my definition is a back and forth with two or more volleys each. but I'll leave it open to interpretation, the brevity to semantic accuracy differential falls squarely within the common sense buffer.

@brandonbutler with that being said I know it is the precision people paying that bill, so thank you for giving it that extra participation. highly valued.

@falcennial like in a conversation, or just tell it yo generate something?
@idiot300 my thinking was a conversation of 2 volleys each, but people can interperet chat to be 1 input as they see fit (or any other definition of chat) for this one.

@bison niiiice 🤌

@falcennial There is no option for me. I do chat with LLMs but less than once per month.
@mortentorten haha yeah. I should've semanticed the answers to encompass all use cases. seems a common one is along the lines of "used it twice in 2024 and not since, except for work."
-
@rasteri key question I didnt even consider. poll taker decides if that counts for their vote.
-
@UrbanCityCowboy so you are way ahead of humanity on protecting yourself against AI psychosis. well done!
-
@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.
@jaseg very helpful and clear distinction.
using chat interface to dialogue,
vs using chat interface to do stuff.gaining an appreciation for that distinction.
-
@falcennial does “only when it’s the only way to contact customer support” count as “not at all”?
@ShadSterling very good question. forced or coerced usage is a good distinction when asking about these experiences.
I'd defer to the participant's judgement on including or excluding it from poll. (personally I'd exclude it.)
-
@falcennial Can one technically chat with an LLM?
@thejessiekirk oh yeah. the full blown AI psychosis cases from doing so are intense.
although I'm sure there are many more non-harmful instances of doing so. it being a normal private activity that the news couldnt and wouldnt report on the way they report on the AI killings and so forth.
but yeah, people do.

@falcennial So as it happens, I am the On-call Engineer for the core platform team this weekend. The first and only thing I have been trained to do when the pager rings is to log into the system and run a custom shoggoth skill to start responding to the incident. What am I supposed to do if the shoggoth is having an outage? Wing it, that’s pretty much the plan.
-
@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@Mekachu04 @falcennial Oh... I had forgotten about that. I don't think it counts, because all you're trying to do is get to a human in as few keystrokes as possible.

The option "Several times a day, but less than an hour" is missing.

@falcennial I mean, DuckDuckGo was my first stop until recently, but it's even worse at finding things than StartPage which I always end up at, so I just started defaulting to that. And that isn't great at finding stuff either! No boolean operators, and stuff just plain doesn't turn up!
@indigoparadox@mastodon.social @falcennial@mastodon.social
startpage used to be amazing a few years ago, then they decided to switch to primarily using Bing for some reason.
Worth pointing out startpage added an AI option a few months ago. They say it's optional but I haven't seen any assurances that your actions and/or searches aren't training their pet AI. -

How frequently do you chat with LLM?
@falcennial i use only text LLM to help me with computer science advice, linux (i double check the command it gives). The thing is i struggle a lot even though i'm on linux for 10 years, and i have often weird issue i struggle to find on the net. Feel ashamed at first but hey here we are
Using it sometimes made me open a little the domain
I may be caught using it for anxiety. For example if i have an important thing to buy and i don't want to take the wrong thing. It can help me to calm down and make the right choice. The thing is i always have the feeling that instead i could use social media, but yeah my brain kinda like not to bother people
I don't say it is justified or good. I'm not feeling great telling this. I may reassure myself saying "it's just text, no image analysing etc". But yeah here i am. I try to reduce, i see how it can be attractive

I even don't know what it is.
