Wild, without specifying, I had to check whether this was an app. I thought you were just being snarky at first! This is such a great but terrible name for a messaging app

In TTRPGs? Depending on the system, yes, there are.

I have no need to use LLMs or other generative AI, and I have no desire to use them just because.

For creative outlets, it isn’t satisfying to me to use a tool that will instantly complete the task. If I’m prepping for a TTRPG session I would rather come up with the content myself, or use a random generator to give several ideas to build off of. I don’t have artistic skills, but I have more fulfilment from the basic drawings I can do, and for anything more complex I’ll just find something that comes closest to what I imagined as a visual aid.

For non-creative work, I can’t trust the results of an LLM to be factual. If I need to check the sources and confirm the output anyway, I might as well skip that step and just read the original sources myself. Or, use Wikipedia and other wiki sites as a quick reference for basic information and links to more detailed sources.

If I was working in a field that had to sit through large data sets or complex equations, I probably would look at machine learning models. But I don’t, so I have no need for it.

Genuine question, for people that regularly use AI (LLMs), why? What do you get out of it that makes you return to it again? Is it just convenience?

I think they are saying lemmings because they are addressing users of Lemmy, but still ironic

I agree, and those “problems” will never be fixed by AI. Not everyone who laments that AI should make life easier is a supporter of AI, though. Sometimes it’s a general “[technological] advancement should be for the good of the people, not the good of the select shareholders”.

That still requires gathering the dirty items together, loading/unloading, keeping track of when it is full/time to run. People saying this mean they want a robot like Rosie from the Jetsons to take care of that sort of housekeeping, not for a machine that makes the task easier to do themself.

Edit: to be clear, I don’t think a washer machine or dishwasher is a hassle and problem that needs solving, but that doesn’t take away from the message of “AI should help make life easier, not replace the creative outlets additional free time should allow”
