Programming

I use autocomplete, asking chat, and full agentic code generation with Cline & Claude.

I don't consider environmental damage by AI because it is a negligible source of such damage compared to other vastly more wasteful industries.

I am primarily interested in text generation. The only use I have for generated pictures, voices, video or music is to fuck around. I think I generated my D&D character portrait. My last portrait was a stick man.

What I ask it to do? My ChatGPT history is vast and covers everything from "how is this word used" to "what drinks can I mix given what's in my liquor cabinet" to "analyze code for me" to "my doctor ordered some labs and some came back abnormal, what does this mean? Does this test have a high rate I'd false positive?" to "someone wrote this at me on the internet, help me understand their point" to "someone wrote this at me in the internet, how can I tell them to fuck the fuck off.... nicely?" And I write atrocious fiction.

Oh I use it a lot to analyze articles and identify bias, reliability, look up other related articles, things that sound bad but really don't mean anything and point out gaps in the journalistic process (I.e. shoddy reporting).

I also have written a discord dungeon master bot. It works poorly due to aggressive censorship and slop on open AI.
