sure. my primary use had been writing code and had been using GitHub copilot for about few months, i noticed i was struggling to write “creative ” or non-trivial code. non-trivial part made sense as obviously having written all the smaller or easier pieces would give better understanding for solving the non-trivial part. the “creative” part was a bit more concerning to me. explaining “creative” code in general terms is a bit hard but if you are dev too then think of something like quick sort vs merge sort. both are equally efficient but quick sort is something that feels not obvious. with copilot infact i was likely to come up with insertion sort. another added benefit i had felt after stopped using llm was work seems more fulfilling despite having to doing things like writing tests and documentation on my own.

that’s the general observation but you can ask anything specific on this as well that i missed out on.

for search & summarisation purposes i will suggest kagi, it also lets you customise the source and their priority. for everything else i have stopped using llm as i realised the productivity boost from them is not worth for the creativity loss i am getting.

so much this. its summary option also lets me avoid any ad infested page. also great for searching videos and relevant stack overflow results.

well said, totally agree. the depressing thing is that i don’t see this changing in anytime soon or way ahead in future. with ai powered drones working class will have no means to challenge the oligarchy unless they end up fighting and killing each other.

not happening. bigtech will kill any such attempt by throwing a few millions at senators. these products make close to 100 billions in profit a year. aipac just showed us how wretched our political system is when they get to do a genocide with our money and then get standing ovation from us, and and all that with a lobbying budget of just 300 million

wow, i mean its a free service but the amount of money they make from selling our data they should atleast try to not make us severely hate their product

haha, no shame in that, i was myself hesitant but one day just gave in anger after getting just ad infested garbage from google for work related topic

yeah i have wanted to try it. will likely do once the kagi subscription is near the renewal.

umm its very much standard ml+vision that has been there for a decade. companies are now just marketing it like crazy, trying to ride the ai hype.

you should try kagi. they have had it for more than a year now. it also generates summary for any webpage in the result so as to avoid all the ads and prompts.

i switched to kagi a year ago as i usually need to go through search result. i was astonished at just how dogpoop google search is compared to it.

youtube was even worse, i had to go through 10 unrelated videos to find one slightly relevant one. kagi is usually dont have the latest results but is on point on relevancy.
