How frequently do you chat with LLM?
@falcennial @cyb3rrunn3r unfortunately it’s „a few times per month“ just because it’s the only way to find something in our stupid intranet system if I don’t know the _exact_ term

@falcennial okay, I did try it out twice.

@falcennial Chat? Like a conversation? Never. I will admit to using an LLM to convert a normal paragraph into a structured format my Director wants event summaries in, does that count?

How frequently do you chat with LLM?
@falcennial 'Chat' voluntarily, I don't. I am sometimes forced to use LLM chatbots as a sort of text-based phone-tree so I can get to the actual person I need to talk to or form I need to fill out.

How frequently do you chat with LLM?
@falcennial Privately, almost never. At work, over 1 hour per day. If my employee has nothing against putting their code into suspicious system, that’s not my problem!

@Rhodium103
nicely put.@falcennial @Rhodium103 I'm also going to interpret "telling customer service chatbot to fuck off and get me an actual customer service representative" as not counting as "chatting".

@falcennial Define "chat with." Does "yell at to do stuff in copilot-cli" count?

@falcennial does spamming variations on "let me speak to a human" cause there's no other way to get support for services count? otherwise none

@dalias lol. This is so real

@falcennial @aemstuz What an opportunity to put backdoors all over the system. “LLM gave me this code”. -

@falcennial Wow so many disgusting AI users to block in this thread! Thanks!

How frequently do you chat with LLM?
@falcennial For office and personal work? A lot, and yes, willingly. I guess I'm one of the lazy ass that wouldn't do things the hard way if I don't have to, and I don't. I wouldn't call that chatting with the thing though. I only care about my bottom line, results. I don't pretend the thing is intelligent or even friendly. As far as I'm concerved it's just a sofisticated information storage and retrieval tool. No point in falling in love or hating it.

@falcennial I'm sure there's been a few times where I've unknowingly chatted with one. But I refuse to use them.

@falcennial Chat as a person? Never. Chat as in "get these two files and combine them into one, and adjust formatting" because that's how my work is now? A few times a week. Also the thing is literally part of the operating system. I don't think I can search for an e-mail without using it?

@brie That's an accepted risk. Let's create a ticket in the backlog to fix that later
-
@trechnex @falcennial I haven't had an employer require me to use any LLM-based tools yet and I'm legitimately curious about what that looks like.
Like my employers care less about how a task gets accomplished and more about it being accomplished, so long as I'm using approved tools and not say, buying subscriptions that haven't been vetted.
It's hard to imagine getting a directive that I *have* to use an LLM

@falcennial I use a local LLM on my rig just to have fun with it, like how it was used back in 2022 - early 2023. I did use a tiny mdel on my phone back in 2024 for help in excel shortcuts cos there was no internet where I was at the time.
It does use up a lot of power (uses around 1 - 2% per minute) and it heats my phone up, and the processing time is so abysmal you can only ask one question, granted my phone isn't really top of the line and it's 5 years old...

@falcennial last month i used an ai to decipher 1000 lines of linux error messages to figure out why my wifi adapter wasnt working. hard to duckduckgo 1000 lines of text. but other than that i never use em.
-
@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 @falcennial I have *really* tried using DDG and also *really* frustrated with the results.
