I tried it when it was new and found it impressive and cute as a gimmick and intriguing from a technical/scientific point of view. Since then I haven't found any uses for it and stopped using it altogether.

Hah! This resonated with me. Maybe I'm just "getting old", but I fail to understand the value of 99% of this stuff...
LLMs are tools that allow us quick access to stochastic text. They are dream machines that snatch what might be and other maybes' from the ether. They are filtered monekys on typewriters and they are wonderful in a pinch.

Also to answer the question of what I use for managing prompts and other short blobs of text I need quick access to: Espanso.

You don't see the value of getting answers without wading through a search results trash fire?
I never even tried it. I cannot conceive of a single thing I'd want to talk to an LLM about, or a single question on which I care about an LLM's answer.
