I use it as a personal assistant, and as a replacement of internet search. It has been working great for things like refactoring small parts of code, generating boilerplate or working out what an arcane error message can mean. I find it useful for comparing two technologies, and to have it give me a refresher about some topic. On a personal assistant level, it's been useful to have me remind of words that I have forgotten, or to have it rephrase a sentence in a different way, to suit some mood, etc. Occasionally I have fun with it by having it answer in rhymes, or theatrically like a fortune teller, or like lyrics of some gangsta rap. I don't know about performance increases. What I notice most is that I'm less annoyed with it, than with the general state of the internet. The web pages and I have different goals: I want a specific piece of information, and they want me to load all their ads, affiliates and such in return, and to spend time on the page reading their drivel. It is also horrible to search for version-specific information, for example, I appreciate that it brings up the Ruby answer for the latest version, but I'm stuck on 2.5.0, and so, I need that specifically. LLMs are usually great at this. Orders of magnitude less fluff, rich text-only answer. |
