What do you personally use AI for? (jemmy.jeena.net)

I really want to use AI like llama, ChatGTP, midjourney etc. for something productive. But over the last year the only thing I found use for it was to propose places to go as a family on our Hokaido Japan journey. There were great proposals for places to go.

But perhaps you guys have some great use cases for AI in your life?

A lot of translation and summarisation. ChatGPT is extremely good in absorbing a whole mix of comments in different languages and summarising them in English (or whatever other language).

For programming I don't use it so much anymore because it hallucinates too much, calling APIs that don't even exist. And when I lower the temperature the output is too sparse.

I'm also trying to build an assistant that can also communicate proactively (I intend to auto-prompt it when things happen and then evaluate if it should cause a message to me). But I need to get a local LLM going for that because running that through the ChatGPT API will be too costly.

Also, a replacement for some of my web searches. Sometimes I just want to know something and it's refreshing that it can give me an answer (even though it does need to be validated, it's much easier to do that when you know what you're looking for!)
