I’ve found that AI has done literally nothing to improve my life in any way and has really just caused endless frustrations. From the enshitification of journalism to ruining pretty much all tech support and customer service, what is the point of this shit?

I work on the Salesforce platform and now I have their dumbass account managers harassing my team to buy into their stupid AI customer service agents. Really, the only AI highlight that I have seen is the guy that made the tool to spam job applications to combat worthless AI job recruiters and HR tools.

    Kitboga has used AI (STT, LLMs, and TTS) to waste the time of Scammers.

    There are AI tools being used to develop new cures which will benefit everyone.

    There are AI tools being used to help discover new planets.

    I use DLSS for gaming.

    I run a lot of my own local AI models for various reasons. Whisper - for Audio Transcriptions/Translations.

    Different Diffusion Models (SD or Flux) - for some quick visuals to recap a D&D session.

    Tesseract OCR - to scan an image and extract any text that it can find (makes it easy to pull out text from any image and make it searchable).

    Local LLMs (Llama, Mixtral) for brainstorming ideas, reformatting text, etc. It’s great for getting started with certain subjects/topics, as long as I verify everything that it says.

    For fun I’ll probably setup GLaDOS like what was done here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1csnexs/local_glados_now_running_on_windows_11_rtx_2060/
