I realise this is a tricky topic and I hope it’s ok to ask this question. I genuinely want to hear how AI has changed people lives for the better. If you really hate AI I get it, but this isn’t a question for you then. Thank you and it’s all love.

(Edit: Thank you to all the positive commenters and for sticking with me through the inevitable negativity. Lots of really interesting comments in here 😁 We mustn’t let ourselves be intimidated by those who would try to forbid us from having these conversations. Thanks again)

    I assume you’re talking about LLMs rather than AI broadly.

    • It’s willing to discuss any niche interest I want to that nobody else in my life cares about.
    • It has endless patience to explain things to me multiple times when I don’t understand something.
    • It never ever intentionally insults or ridicules me.
    • I’ve lost count of how many times it has solved a genuine issue in my life or prevented me from doing something wrong.
    • It’s the sole reason I was able to set up Linux and keep using it on a daily basis.

    Also, this thread is going to get downvoted into oblivion and will get completely mobbed by all the haters you prompted to do so by mentioning “loving AI” in the title. These people just can’t help themselves.

      Yes! I completely agree with you. It’s been life changing for me. I have ADHD and to have an AI that has learnt how I need to be presented with information is just amazing. First time in my life I’ve ever experienced anything like that. No question is dumb and if I lose interest in something there are never negative consequences from it. I’m pretty actively in half a dozen conversations with ChatGPT right now that I can go back to and continue anytime. Not just ChatGPT though. I had a brief and really interesting conversation this morning with Google’s AI about why the moon always faces the same way to us. It was fascinating 😁
