I really don't use it for anything serious cos I can "see through the ruse" whenever I "talk" to one and I really don't take what it says to me seriously.
Over time tho I learned to separate a part in my brain, kinda like a virtual machine whenever I "talk" to one so once I'm done with it, I totally forget what did I even talk about to the local LLM.
But between choosing an LLM to talk to and not talking to anyone or anything for a month, I'd rather choose not talk to anything
...cos I lived without friends and LLM's for two years before they popped up around 2022.
I still don't understand why billions of people think of it as like their companion in their life and... eugh... solution to their loneliness. I solve my loneliness by literally doing anything my gut wants me to do.
Sure it's prolly hard for everyone to be alone, I'm just a dumb bear but I haven't had friends for 6 years yet I don't feel like desperately needing for a companion...

So yeah, even if I talk to a local LLM multiple times per week, I really don't take what it outputs seriously, and if "AI" goes away, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. I'd just yawn and move on.

@falcennial I'm sure there's been a few times where I've unknowingly chatted with one. But I refuse to use them.
@jprjr @falcennial I'm in the same boat.
I'm increasingly aware that I have no idea how many "features" of tools and platforms I use every day are driven by AI. I'm trying to learn as fast as I can but it's generally a black box.
I consciously and conscientiously avoid LLMs, and do my best with ongoing education so I can do a better job.

@falcennial I found it useful for writing my nftables.conf file.

@falcennial I don't chat conversationally at all with them apart from initial experiments. I do use them for research purposes though.

@falcennial I’m in the small slice that is the very highest usage, and it is primarily work-related (I work in data and analytics technology)

@falcennial I misread this as "LLVM", and I was like "funny way to describe looking at perf-annotated disassembled code, but I do at least a little of that every month." Language models, though, I just don't use.

@falcennial I’ll qualify my answer with “not deliberately or knowingly” since many places have them in customer facing positions

@falcennial my claude.md contains "do not use any pronouns to indicate that a human beeing is replying. This is a large language model, used as a glorified autocomplete"
I occasionally end up swearing at the damn thing for beeing utterly useless, but chatting? Never.

In my defence, the answer is: never -

@falcennial I understood that many people might be forced to engage with them on a daily basis, because their company has bought into the hype. The results so far are actually better than I expected

@falcennial I put not at all because it's the most accurate. I've used one twice ever. Both times I decided to see if I could social engineer (for lack of better words) ChatGPT into claiming to be sentient to see if there was anything to the claims. Both times, I didn't know the full extent of how unethical their development was or that people were being driven to psychosis by their sycophancy. I haven't touched one since early 2024 mostly for those reasons. It didn't feel worth it to keep poking it like that and the push for them to be in everything left an even worse taste in my mouth.
