I’ve found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?
I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.
I use it all the time, to translate, explain, give guides, write code, do repetitive menial tasks, fix code, understand others code.
I get the hatred for it, but I use it almost every day.
I agree, but I’m the spirit of the question, do you work in a corporate environment?
Unfortunately. But I also use my corpo AI accounts for personal stuff too, because it’s immune to being used for training.
Don’t corpo accounts leave logs for auditing though? I wouldn’t like HR going over my personal notes I (accidentally) shared there.
If AI is for anything it’s for DnD campaign art.
Make your NPCs and towns and monsters!
Same. When I’ve got a session coming upjwithjless than ideal prep time, I’ve used chat get to help figure out some story beats. Or reframe a movie plot into DnD terms. But more often than not I use the Story Engine Deck to help with writers block. I’d rather support a small company with a useful product than help Sam Altman boil the oceans.
In the sense that a forum I am on has had a huge amount of fun doing very silly things with Godzilla, yes.

It’s best to start at the bottom. We didn’t start out with Godzilla when the thread began and it also began in 2022.
8220 posts, the majority Godzilla-related. I haven’t done too many lately, but here’s a few recent ones:
Tits, on an egg-laying reptile?
I’m not completely sure this is a real photo
Yes:
- Demystifying obscure or non-existent documentation
- Basic error checking my configs/code: input error, ask what the cause is, double check it’s work. In hour 6 of late night homelab fixing this can save my life
- I use it to create concepts of art I later commission. Most recently I used it to concept an entirely new avatar and I’m having a pro make it in their style for pay
- DnD/Cyberpunk character art generation, this person does not exist website basically
- duplicate checking / spot-the-diffetences, like pastebins “differences” feature because the MMO I play released prelim as well as full patch notes and I like to read the differences
There’s a handful of actual good use-cases. For example, Spotify has a new playlist generator that’s actually pretty good. You give it a bunch of terms and it creates a playlist of songs from those terms. It’s just crunching a bunch of data to analyze similarities with words. That’s what it’s made for.
It’s not intelligence. It’s a data crunching tool to find correlations. Anyone treating it like intelligence will create nothing more than garbage.
