In the 1980s, economist Robert Solow made an observation that reminded economists of today’s AI boom: “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.”
An example is yesterday I used Claude a ton for updating an old static site archive, update the caddyfile, set caching, remove old bits of code, update the css on hundreds of html pages, made it so easy
Any time I want to know if a linux command exists to manipulate data, particularly with media conversion and anything involving regex/sed
analysing log files, explaining concepts, I’ve used it to build a massive python script for automating work tasks and more scripts to give me better insight into our monitoring
I’ve use Mistral to generate a wallpaper image of a forest then used https://upscayl.org/ to make it massive so it looks amazing on my 34" ultrawide
I’ve also used it to make my own selfhosted image upload site
Loads and loads and loads of discussions on health, vitamins, strength training routines etcetc
The other day I had a carbonated drink and it upset my gut which is typical (I have IBS) and it found an alternative local soft drink maker who has low sugar drinks which use monk fruit extract instead of the other artificial flavours, went on a 1.5 hour drive west and got myself some:
Those images hosted on the server and code built with claude/mistral (with supabase as the backend)
And yeah it’s WAY better for me, doubt I would have ever found it since I’ve been looking for an IBS friendly soft drink for years
I use LM Studio with different models (Qwen/Gemma/GLM/Mistral) for basic language learning and translations and tier 1 learning javascript
And so much more, claude especially in the last 6 months has kicked it up a gear while Mistral sadly does appear to be falling behind, I’m hoping they catch up soon
edit: I like how 2 people have downvoted me just for explaining what I use ai for, never change lemmy :)
Any time I want to know if a linux command exists to manipulate data
This is one of the reasons I’m very cautious of my genAI use. Most of the time I got to the stage where I thought “there should be a command / way to do this” and I asked an LLM it would tell me the intuitive interface that I expected existed. But when I tested it didn’t exist, the answer had just been creative writing
Anyone with a balanced view on AI automatically attracts downvotes from a specific crowd in here. The problem isn’t that you explained what you use AI for. They couldn’t care less. The problem is that you clearly don’t hate AI with a burning passion.
I can see that there’s clearly some great potential to have fun with a crowd like this. Just haven’t figured out a good method for it yet.

Lemmy is indeed a very special place. :D
