I have no need to use LLMs or other generative AI, and I have no desire to use them just because.
For creative outlets, it isn’t satisfying to me to use a tool that will instantly complete the task. If I’m prepping for a TTRPG session I would rather come up with the content myself, or use a random generator to give several ideas to build off of. I don’t have artistic skills, but I have more fulfilment from the basic drawings I can do, and for anything more complex I’ll just find something that comes closest to what I imagined as a visual aid.
For non-creative work, I can’t trust the results of an LLM to be factual. If I need to check the sources and confirm the output anyway, I might as well skip that step and just read the original sources myself. Or, use Wikipedia and other wiki sites as a quick reference for basic information and links to more detailed sources.
If I was working in a field that had to sit through large data sets or complex equations, I probably would look at machine learning models. But I don’t, so I have no need for it.
Genuine question, for people that regularly use AI (LLMs), why? What do you get out of it that makes you return to it again? Is it just convenience?
