I recently set up a LLM to run locally on my desktop. Now that the novelty of setting it up and playing with different settings has worn off, I'm struggling to come up with actual uses for it. What do you use it for when not doing work stuff?

An interesting theory, except I know exactly how to do everything I've ever asked an LLM about. I would never trust one of these things to generate useful copy/code, I just wanted to see what it could do. It's been shit 100% of the time. Never even gotten a useful function out of it.

Also "skill issue" is a lazy response. Try reading the post before you reply next time.

I did read it.

You can create great and very useable boilerplate with even gpt 3.5 ...

You have a skill issue with your prompts.

If I can't use the LLM by prompting it the same way I'd prompt one of my colleagues, then it's not a skill issue; It's shitty LLM. I don't care if it's the input embedder, training data, or the guy who didn't bother properly building a model that didn't just spit out bullshit.

If an employee gave me this quality, I'd get rid of them. Why would I waste my time on a shit coder, artificial or otherwise?

Sorry, but holding spicy autocomplete to the same rigor you'd hold a human coworker is probably the beginning of your issue. It's clear your prompt is not working.

Well, considering the speed of your responses, and your obsession with making excuses for shitty software, I'm guessing you're and LLM, so I'm gonn start ignoring you too. Good luck surviving the hype phase.

I'm currently browsing this website, any page interaction results in a notification by the inbox.

You too reply quickly, thus, are also a robot.

Edit I'm not excusing shitty software, I acknowledged the types of tasks it's appropriate for from the beginning.

I'm highlighting a shitty user lol
