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

Perplexity is a very versatile tool. Quite powerful if you want to search, process and synthesize information from the internet. And you can choose your own models depending on what you are working on. It's also easy to find promos for it as well, so you can get it for quite cheap

Can you share how you would use it differently from ChatGPT? I gave it a shot but couldn't find a specific use case where I would use it over ChatGPT (especially after web search and sources have been added) so my perplexity subscription has remained untouched.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet inside Cursor for generating code. It makes mistakes but better than the rest.

did anyone checkout the yt video about ai agents by claude? man this will defientely eat up jobs once it reaches enterprise use level.

Also anyone able to signup for sora yet? not that its out for public?

Just signed up for Sora and its pretty rad.

I have been using perplexity Pro for the past 2 months. Helped me with my search for the second hand car. i occasionally uses Chatgpt too.

Creating videos require a paid membership?

Looks like it, its asking for $20 monthly membership even for basic video generation

It's best to run AI locally using Ollama and small models sizing 2-3 gb runs well. and you have no need to pay for AI.

For coding I'm using Windsurf editor right now. Similar to cursor but half the price. The auto complete is really good. The cascade panel is also good but I don't use it that much. For $10 it's amazing value I think for how much faster is makes me.

@detonator22 Looks like the pricing changed, Windsurf is now $15 a month while Cursor is $20 a month.

I'm apprehensive about AI autocomplete, I like to be in control of my code. I recently launched a tiny webtool and after I made it public, I felt such a strong sense of loss — actual grief — that I'm no longer working on it and it's no longer a part of my life, such that I went into a near-depressive state and slept for ten hours straight (which I haven't done since the 90s).

Now I'm wondering if this is a actual thing because I felt emotions that made absolutely no logical sense whatsoever. Why did it feel like as if my child left home and went out exploring the world without me? Gah.

edit: I spoke to my therapist about it and I feel a little bit better:

@rsaeon For people who were subscribed before the price change they've kept it same at $10.

I agree that being in control of your app and it's code is important. But this is why auto complete is awesome and I think better than coding agents. You start writing some code and it suggests some completion. You take a look if it's what you want else you just keep typing.

I have used a few different auto complete extension and services and I like windsurf because it's completions are very close to my intent.

As for your grief about you webtool forgive me but I don't understand? I'm still a new dev and haven't released anything major to public. I can't relate to this. But I've seen some people especially in the indie game community speak of what you feel. For them a game is like their child, a product of months or years of hard work. It's hard to detach your self esteem from the success of this project. Is this similar to what you feel?
