ChatGPT Plus and Github Copilot…but less every day. They just don’t keep up enough with current APIs and are often confused and unable to actually provide useful solutions.
I mostly use ChatGPT Plus as a Google replacement nowadays. And Copilot as a, sadly, mostly useless autocomplete.

I don't like the idea of wasting energy on inefficient things so I don't use "AI".
A.I. use is directly responsible for carbon emissions from non-renewable electricity and for the consumption of millions of gallons of fresh water, and it indirectly boosts impacts from building and maintaining the power-hungry equipment on which A.I. runs.

Not a daily routine.
I've been doing some visual character stuff for my fictional story!
It's nice to actually see some characters visually for the story - it adds to the motivation to work on it 😁
I use ChatGPT 4 and 3.5 via the api sometimes.
I've recently started using Claude Opus which i prefer for coding and maybe in general. Apart from the crappy message limit and lack of stop and edit buttons. I think it might stick with it and cancel gpt.
In general i use Ai to help with my job of general it guy, marker, admin, data entry etc. i use it to proof read, to get ideas, to transform data, to code it or to comment code, translate, transcribe, to bug fix. I always feel i could be making better use of it in my day but it is transformative for the stuff it does.
For the API I'm using a workflow for Alfred on Mac that allows me really quick key presses access to prompts and questions on selected text. I love it.
I'll typically only use it for language and coding problems.
Synonyms, word for xyz, how can I make this sentence more clear.
But if I can't find anything on Google I'll ask it other questions.
Once upon a time I had it writing summaries of some of the comic series I was selling on Whatnot. Did that twice. Haven’t used it for anything else.
I work as a research economist and use half a model zoo and APIs regularly and have even written a small R package to work with LLM Apis. ChatGPT Pro in the interface for programming questions (helping me to write or document my R code, for example I have used it to easily translate tax laws into R functions to make microsimulations [of course i double check them]). Anthropic's or Groq's API's to process large amounts of documents fast (for examples creating JSON-lists about papers to make them more easily searchable). I have one small script that has many useful prompts that really helps me to rephrase texts (e.g. "Please rephrase this paragraph to be more clear and concise. Give me {n} Versions. {paragrph}") , which I have included into my browser. I used Stable Diffusion to generate images for my Christmas Cards.
Ollama running the dolphin-mistrial. Its been neat using it with the continue plugin in vscode, nothing life changing though. I think with further embeddings and RAG over curated data sources would go a long way to make it more useful for me.
I don't unless I am trying to make my code more efficient, or want know how to do simple programming task or get some additional info on something I don't really understand.
I am not paying for pro version on monthly basic. I am using openrouter.ai, I load $5 and pick the bot when I need to use.
Still have $3 after few month.
AI pay as you go cost doesn't cost that much
usually don't if not coding in Roblox
I use Gemini as a replacmet for google search. Still kinda shit but everything else wants money or bans VPN users.
I run Mistral locally for anything personal or fun but I need a new GPU. My 1080ti is finally showing its age.
For programming I use it a lot. Though, it's because the book hasn't been helpful and the professor is non-existent
I use it to write Ansible scripts; simply because Ansible sucks so fucking hard and I hate to do it myself.
I use the Bingilator to create images for invites to my weekly donut meetings.
