What do you personally use AI for? (jemmy.jeena.net)

I really want to use AI like llama, ChatGTP, midjourney etc. for something productive. But over the last year the only thing I found use for it was to propose places to go as a family on our Hokaido Japan journey. There were great proposals for places to go.

But perhaps you guys have some great use cases for AI in your life?

I use it to see the answers to problems on my physics homework when I can't figure it or myself. It works far better than forums, which are mostly all paywalled these days.

If you are using ChatGPT for academic purposes, start your prompt with "pretend you are an expert professor on {subject} helping me understand {topic}"

Both of you need to read up on the phenomenon called hallucination.

LLMs can be great for explaining things that have concrete solutions, like physics and math problems, when they have a separate "computations" AI bolted onto it, like ChatGPT does. Usually, you can check the answer in the back of the book anyway, so it's very easy to catch fact hallucinations.

I wouldn't worry about source hallucinations with this either. I don't think it would even come up?
