Which generative AI tool have you used the most and how?

The popular ones are ChatGPT by Open AI, Gemini by Google and CopIlot by Microsoft for content. There are others for other type of media. However this post is not about listing them all.

This is more about how have you incorporated the tool that you have used the most in your day to day life.

Personally I see myself using Gemini and ChatGPT the most for work related research and finding answers to some server maintenance queries while I am tinkering with something during my off time. I find these tools better than going through stackoverflow to quickly narrow down on some information that I need. They dont give me the perfect answer half the time but certainly significantly reduce my searching time going through multitude of links.

So how about others? And have you bought a subscription yet?

I find myself using chatgpt extensively these days — so much that I'm hitting the (free) limit of the better (?) model and end up being told to come back after the timeout expires. I'm averaging about 4 hours a day with chatgpt.

I'm usually asking about proper syntax and best practices for CSS/JS since I've never coded with JS until this year and my CSS self-learning journey ended years ago with float and clear. It was also really helpful for formulating SQL queries when I was making a few PHP webapps last month. It's like a teacher that never gets tired, until the limit is reached anyway.

It's weakness is text manipulation and analysis, it often forgets what it's doing half during generation and just ends up skipping large chunks. Sometimes it offers to restart with smaller sets, other times it cannot recover. So I'm wondering if a self-hosted instance would be more useful but I don't know enough about LLMs to even set up one. Actually, let me ask and find out:

Apart from those limitations, I'd say it's about 60% effective, I still need to pick apart broken and malformed code.

I might get a subscription.

I have probably used all free tools available.

First foray was Midjourney when it just came out in 2022. Used through discord and couldn't believe what it could do.
These days, I mostly use Flux and Stable Diffusion as the novelty of image generation has wore off a bit.

In Text based tools, used ChatGPT the most like an interactive google/wiki replacement. Recently, I have found that Anthropic's Claude is much more nuanced and gives more human like answers for my use case. Gemini seems a generation behind these two. Microsoft's Copilot is somewhere in-between. I also have Perplexity Pro. For research or learning, I use Perplexity, then ChatGPT. For creative writing or grammar correction, I use Claude and locally running LLMs like Mistral.

Chatgpt , Stable Diffusion ,

But as @buzz88 said , interest on SD has diminshed. I think mainly because of Numerous models popping up and tuning to each of them is headache. I trained my pic on SDXL , and now finding that flux is better...

I find chatgpt very helpful in creating small codes.. Also for excel formulas.

Let me know any AI is there for data entry which it can scrape from internet..I need it for a project .
 
I am essentially a content writer so I use ChatGPT extensively. But mostly for the first draft of things which I then go in and edit to my satisfaction. I have found it best for short bursts of writing, where I ask it to write 1 or 2 paras and then prompt it for the next few paras. Longer writing it tends to end up repeating the same information in different words.

A free user so far but leaning towards buying a subscription in the near future.

Anyone planning for subscription try something like openrouter.ai which will be cheaper than directly subscribing from openai.. or better you can deploy open webui interface and buy openai API subscription which is way cheaper than actual chatgpt pro version.

For research & writing I use perplexity or claude. Also tried gemini trial but ended up not using it.

Professionally I only prefer to use copilot/codium etc for test case generation. Although a lot of colleagues use gpt 4 for code generation.
 
Since my work demands a lot of research-based tasks, I use a combination of Claude, Perplexity, and Chat. Perplexity is especially good at specific research prompts. With Chat, it all boils down to your prompting skills.
 
Using Co-pilot. Part of my work involves writing user manuals/knowledge base. Super helpful as long as you provide specific prompts.
 
copilot for most of the needs for past 1 year

started as part of work but I loved it and bought a personal subscription too now

PS: I am not a photoshop/video editor kinda guy most of yt reviews cant look beyond themselves for any product (soft or hard) and think everyone in the world is constantly recording, editing and transcoding videos

Is copilot better than chatgpt? How are you using it and which all languages does it excel in?

Have just compared grammar, professional emails, summary and researching from the web...on first 2 I found copilot is 1st by far, 2nd was gemini and 3rd by far chat gpt
on researching and summary I didnt find much difference between the 3 apps
Language I have just used it on English...if you mean coding...I no longer get the opportunity to code :) just manage coders and others...but yes the teams seem quite happy with the ai coding capabilities, which is probably one of the best use cases
