I was paying openai, but with all the current politics, it looks like I’m probably going to switch to Anthropic.
I don’t have the resources or patience to run my own.
They’d have to pay ME to use their bullshit, and it wouldn’t be cheap.
Perplexity
Why would I pay for a service to get things wrong. I can do that on my own for free
oh the mistake of writing “AI” in lemmy lol. I have made this mistake before, you’ll recover
It’s funny considering people are clearly paying for it.
And thanks for checking in. We need more kindness like that in the world :D
It seems that Thaura and Lumo are not beholden to big tech or involved in genocide / mass surveillance, so I’m comparing those at the moment. But I keep my usage as low as absolutely possible.
I don’t pay for a single one, I’ll use their free services for a specific question to have it summarize the internet basically. I try and avoid chatgpt.
At work we have an internal AI system, and Claude. I utilize both of these to make my workload smoother - but have been finding myself just coding more often than using them because they almost all eventually produce garbage and refuse to listen when you say it’s wrong.
Perplexity and grammarly
me personally none, but our family has the 2tb Google drive subscription for family photos (in case of our NAS fails). That subscription comes with Gemini but I just use free chatgpt because I mostly use it as a ‘straight to the point search engine’.
For example I asked today if Vive 3.0 VR trackers work under a blanket, then a followup if competitor SlimeVR does.
Seeing as AI has been in video games since about 1977, I’d say quite a lot.
None of this new horseshit though, fuck all that. It’s just a buzzword for morons.
I’ve paid for a few months of Midjourney to create some portraits for a few gaming characters. That’s about it.
Gemini, use it a lot as an AA I’m my work, reviewing emails and RFPs
none. I have never, and will never, pay for it.
I’m in IT, my company is trying to offer it as a service and sell it. I’m fully against it, but can’t voice my opinion since I do like my job and what I do. It really sucks.
