        Unless you are working on some engineering or scientific problem that needs these models to get to a solution, even if it works for you, it’s still a waste of energy.

          I had heavy problems to solve. Claude Opus could solve some. I could solve them too, but with claude it’s faster. One recent problem would take around two days if I would do it, but claude did it in half an hour.

          I’m not advertising claude, if it gives bullshit response I turn it off instantly. Like with every tool, you need to learn to use it.

          Another example: In the app I work on, there’s a huge list of city integration files. I had a loose set of specifications for a new city, and with claude I could roll out a new prototype in no time. It saved me about a month of work.

          It’s expensive and energy hungry for sure.

              If I am the tankie you must be the lgbtq femboy. There’s nothing wrong with it. We are here for different reasons :D.

              Stereotypes aside, aren’t you using one?

              • Image processing, (e.g.: Camera enhancement, gimp, rawtherapee are full with AIs)
              • sound processing, (noise reduction, etc…)
              • text processing
                • reasoning models for programming, math
                • LLMs for grammar checking / searching when I don’t know the keyword / researching when I’m not interested that much about the topic, but I want multiple sources / getting common knowledge I don’t know yet.
              • Recently I tried 3D asset generation. Damn it gave me a perfect character model. But it’s not for work so I’m not gonna pay for it.
              • etc…

              They are useful.

              These are not deadlines. A task takes what it takes. We only provide an estimation.

        It sometimes works for me. But the old computer truth of garbage in garbage out still applies. It’s got the world’s garbage to sift through.
