    Unless you are working on some engineering or scientific problem that needs these models to get to a solution, even if it works for you, it’s still a waste of energy.

      I have heavy problems to solve. Claude Opus could solve it. I could solve it too in 2 days or so on my own, but with Opus it was about half an hour.

      I’m not advertising claude, if it gives bullshit response I turn it off instantly.

      Another example: In the app I work, there’s a huge list of city integration files. I had a loose set of specifications for a new city, and with claude I could roll out a new prototype in no time. It saved me about a month of work.

      It’s expensive and energy hungry for sure.

          If I am the tankie you must be lgbtq femboy. There’s nothing wrong with it. We are here for different reasons :D.

          Stereotypes aside, aren’t you using one?

          • Image processing, (e.g.: Camera enhancement, gimp, rawtherapee are full with AIs)
          • sound processing, (noise reduction, etc…)
          • text processing
            • reasoning models for programming, math
            • LLMs for grammar checking / searching when I don’t know the keyword / researching when I’m not interested that much about the topic, but I want multiple sources / getting common knowledge I don’t know yet.
          • Recently I tried 3D asset generation. Damn it gave me a perfect character model. But it’s not for work so I’m not gonna pay for it.
          • etc…

          They are useful.

          These are not deadlines. A task takes what it takes. We only provide an estimation.
