I use it all the time. It is a good partner to challenge me, when I am looking for other points of view. “I believe x due to y. Challenge my point of view”
It helps me explore a topic fast, so that I know the lingo to search for it myself. I use it for making low stakes decisions where it often succeeds, such as shopping and research for shopping. I validate the results every time.
Is it net negative for society, not sure, maybe? Will it go away, no. So we should embrace it, but not the big tech AI, but smaller LLMs.
I’d recommend to be sure to use them locally as well, the LLM services don’t need any more money and the ones you can download are still pretty useful regardless of how many astroturfers may want to downplay their usefulness. Just use with care and under the assumption that you are dealing with a charismatic yet frequently hallucinating liar.
