    Honestly they’re still impressive and useful it’s just the hype train overload and trying to implement them in areas they either don’t fit or don’t work well enough yet.

      AI does a good job of generating character portraits for my TTRPG games. But, really, beyond that I haven’t found a good use for it.

        So far that’s been the best use of AI for me too. I’ve also used it to help flesh out character backgrounds, and then I just go through and edit it.

          Yeah exactly, as a tool that doesn’t need to be perfect to give you a starting point it’s excellent. But companies sort of forgot the “as a tool” part and are just implementing ai outright in places it’s not ready yet like drive-thru windows or voice only interface devices…it’s not ready for that shit currently (if it ever truly will be).

            They are all completely half-baked products being rolled out before they’re ready because none of these billion dollar tech companies will allow a product to not immediately generate revenue.

            I’m really enjoying seeing the backlash of everyone unanimously being sick of having this unfinished tech shoved down our throats.

        One place where I found AI usefull is in generating search queries in JIRA. Not having to deal with their query language every time I have to change a search filter, but being able to just use the built in AI to query in natural language has already saved me like two or three minutes in total in the last two months.

        …also TTRPH, TTRPI, TTRPJ, TTRPK, TTRPL, TTRPM, TTRPN, TTRPO, TTRPP, TTRPQ, TTRPR, TTRPS, TTRPT, TTRPU, TTRPV, TTRPW, TTRPX, TTRPY and TTRPZ games.

        But beyond that, no good use, no siree.

        PS: spoiler

        that was WAY harder to type than I expected.

      Even in areas where they would fit it’s really annoying how some companies are trying to push it down our throats.

      It’s always some obnoxious UI element, screaming at me their 3 example questions, and I always sigh and think, “I have to assume you can only answer these 3 particular questions, and why would I ask those questions, and when I ask UI questions I expect precise answers so would I want to use AI for that.”

      I have no doubt that LLM’s have more uses than I can think of, but come on…

      I’m happy for studies like this. People who are trying to smear their AI all over our faces need to calm, the f…k, down.
