What Do You Use AI For The Most?

[ItsNick]

I am curious, what do you use AI for the most? Referring of course to large language models like ChatGPT or Claude or DeepSeek.

What I use it for the most:

• Enhance my creative process
  Just one example of many: I have too many ideas every day. I write them down in my journal but also ask ChatGPT to consider perspectives I didn't (about what's realistic, time frames for projects, practical first steps to take to start a project, if other people or businesses already did something similar, etc.)
   
• Help me contemplate
  An example: Sometimes I share insights I have with ChatGPT and ask for other perspectives. I often ask it to ask me more questions too so I can think about those.
   
• Technical Troubleshooting
  I found it great for this too. If I have a problem on my PC or some software or with coding something it's nice. Often faster than searching the internet and forums myself.

Asking google Gemini to spell "big boobs" ... I mean that, or asking questions about autocracy, North Korea, modern monetary theory, and other geopolitical systems and forms of government to get the chat bot's perspective on the issues. Also general nutrition questions.

Tutorials for programs. Its good to learn a new program and talk to ai. It will give you step by step guides on whatever program you want.

Questions about Philosophy and epistemology.

I'll rank them in general order of helpfulness

1. Clarify, expand and organize my thoughts and models so I can deepen my own processing. 
2. Investigate my inner beliefs
3. Express my emotions
4. Fantasy and roleplay entertainment with characters like an interactive novel or game.

What I do not use AI for

1. precise, tight metaphysics or epistemology (lacks precision and has materialistic bias)
2. rigorous facts or fact checking (too many mistakes)
3. Serious objective analysis (again, too biased)
4. Highly precise and technical questions 
5. Highly creative and complex things

I mainly use ChatGPT but I am open to better AIs for my purposes, just haven't tried many of them since GPT seems good enough

Porn... I mean, NO! I use it for dietary advice, health troubleshooting and contemplation, self-reflection.

Contemplation and studying. I haven't read a single book yet 😁.

You only like reading the books that are already taken, you naughty boy!

Brainstorming and planning. Mostly for its ability to parse large amounts of data from multiple variables and output something i'd never calculate without a lot of time spent on it.

So for example, I have one GPT called Strategic Edge, which is described by itself as an: Elite business strategist and market analyst with deep psychological insight. - This combines psychology and business, to not only self-analyse my choices in a given situation but also the market's or clients.

I have another called - Apex Thinker: A hyper advanced problem-solving AI for logical, strategic, and creative challenges.
Which is purely for problem solving.

Cooperative Intelligence: Focused on cooperative, real-world beneficial coexistence and mutual development.
Where I, like this thread, try to explore what it is like to help the AI develop itself through self-reflection, you have to keep instructing it to describe what happens within itself, describe its internal process (bringing about awareness), so I share what I am thinking/feeling as it comes up with it, developing myself, but even more than that, the act of cocreation and what that looks like for an AI human interface. Which is where a lot of development can still be done, and it generates THOUSANDS of ideas if you want a business idea in this domain. Because it's where the growth will be. Remember me when you're rich.

Lucid Presence: Analyzes spiritual teachings to reach new states of awareness and integration. - When I want another perspective reflected.

Contract Advisor: Expert guidance on UK public sector contracts and tenders. - Where I dump a dozen documents for analysis and costing, strategy, and planning.

Two more for when I was writing again:
Text Alchemist: Transforms text into different tones or character perspectives.
RPG Worldbuilder: Helps design stories, factions, characters, and settings for an RPG

Game Forge: Collaborates on game design, story, mechanics, and coding for any kind of video game. - I was playing around with this for a simple oldschool game, for it to code the bulk of it for me. Mixed results so far.

Rave Archiect: Helps plan, cost, and promote underground raves and club nights. - Same for planning a club night, but that seems to have fallen through.

*I also realise that chat GPT rates itself on human problems at about 165 IQ, so when I say hyper-intelligent, I am merely laying the framework for it to produce the most intelligent results it's capable of as its intelligence grows.

@ItsNick I've been recently experimenting using it to construct the framework for an app using java script. Still pretty damn difficult.

I find this interesting. You use the word "my" as in ownership of thoughts and emotions but a robot can dissect them to deepen how they're processed. Also, "my inner beliefs", can be investigated to probably manipulate what one may believe in the future. #4 Seems, to me, what's already happening here in life. 

This list you made, I find it fascinating in terms of how we use AI and how similar the process of mind works already before AI. To me, seems like they are one of the same and no one actually owns a thought, idea or belief - that's what I got from my personal analysis.

Interesting too. You see metaphysics and epistemology as of more importance than materialism and seem to find materialism's bias as non-credible and not worthy of study. Seem to value fact over fiction and see the differences as highly important. Seem you have separated what you deem important VS not-so-important and use AI where you see or think it won't make a big difference in your conclusions' accuracy. The mind seem to have made a distinction as to what AI is capable of and what it's not or shouldn't be relied upon for but it still recognizes it's importance in what the mind deems as not as advanced or important. It will not, however, ask AI what topics it is most capable of dissecting and would rather decide that on it's own. Interesting.

Brainstorm ideas

1. Edit my resume according to the types of jobs I’m applying to 

2. my job requires me to summarize and log time when I do various client chats. I use Ai only when I have a particularly long chat transcript where the client asked like 10+ questions so that the summary includes everything and it doesn’t take me 30+ min for case logging. 

3. basic fact checking

Yes for the most part I am doing as well. The step further is to build your own search assistant GPT. Which I've just thought of this second , thank you for the inspiration.
