I was wondering if you guys have been using AI in your daily life. I have started using it about 2 months ago. As my English writing is poor for compiling emails, data entry chores, match reports, logos / flyers / image creation and social media posts . Really I’m shocked how good it is.. I know you can use programs to for articles to check if written by AI.
Still the time it’s saving me and saving me to our source stuffed I used to do is amazing.
Do you guys use it if so for what tasks?
I’m even paying the $20 a month now. Just for the image creation some it’s bloody brilliant |  |

Another thing I use it for is fault finding on cars. Really really good 👍 | |

I haven’t posted on here for nigh on 3 years now. All my posts are down to AI.
*may not strictly be true.
I’ve found it to be a bit hit and miss when doing fairly basic photo retouching, where despite giving quite clear instructions as I thought, the 3 presented options to me have been all awful, so much so, it’s almost taking longer than it would take me to do traditionally, without the frustration of thinking ‘this is supposed to be helping and saving me time!’ |  |

I had noticed a distinct improvement in the content of your posts over the last three years or so.*

I have tried playing around with photos and i struggled but asking it to create new images was really good. I’m not sure why that is. It seems better at some things than others imo | |

Am increasingly using Chat GPT and CoPilot at work. We are currently building a knowledge base in Chat GPT and it's good because you can't ask natural language questions of that knowledge you put into it. I also use Copilot to help with software development tasks such as analysing and documenting code, writing test cases. I definitely find it useful in my day to day job. |  |

The image creation stuff (use it in Canva), I don’t know. It’s kinda neat but usually looks off. Fake and soulless, which is exactly what it is.
Seeing it used a bit more at work by non-profits who use it to write grant applications. As above, something always seems off about it. |  |

It's funny how not that long ago I would laugh at my old mum for not using Internet banking, social media etc. Her excuse was that she doesn't understand it. Here we are a few years later and I haven't got a clue about AI or how you use it yet you make it sound like it's nothing. I am my old mum. Technology, and me getting old, is moving far too quick for me. |  | | |

In a similar boat, use Co-pilot as essentially Intellisense on steroids and occasionally ChatGPT as a search engine of sorts. The code it pumps out is usually wrong but it can get 80% of the way there. [Post edited 15 Oct 2024 8:08]

When I don't understand a technical concept at work I ask it to explain it using analogies. Very useful. |  |

Can you expand a bit on this please? Not a use case I've heard described before. |  | | |

It's an absolute game changer for writing macros for excel. That's its most useful use to me.
I use it to check emails and papers I write but find it quite American in its formality and tone.
It's written a quiz for me and it was great.
Tbh I don't find it much better than Google for random queries. |  |

Yea of course. I am working on my neices Audi A1. Been to a few garages and they cant fix it, despite spending a few grand on parts etc.
Yes I run a fleet of vehicles and have got a mechanic but that doesnt mean we can fix everything.
Here is my query on here car;-
"Audi A1 1.6 diesel. Fault code P060100 - Internal control unit memory checksum error,
descrition: From 1000 to 2500 revs the engine knocks and the fault always stays on the eco. The engine management light is always on. The engine light cant be deleted (hard code)"

The P0601 fault code on an Audi A1 1.6 diesel indicates an "Internal Control Unit Memory Checksum Error." This usually points to an issue with the engine control module (ECM/ECU), which manages various systems in the vehicle. The specific symptoms you're describing, such as engine knocking between 1000 to 2500 RPM, constant engine management light, and the fact that the error is a hard code (cannot be deleted), all suggest a potential internal failure in the ECU.
Here are some potential causes and actions to take:
Causes:
Faulty ECU: The memory within the ECU might be corrupted or malfunctioning. This could result in improper engine operation, causing the knocking and persistent warning light.
Software Issue: The ECU software might be outdated or require a re-flash (software update). Corrupted software could lead to communication issues or incorrect management of engine parameters.
Electrical Problem: Wiring issues, loose connections, or poor grounding might contribute to incorrect voltage or communication errors within the ECU.
Sensor Failure: While P0601 specifically refers to a memory checksum error, issues with related sensors (such as the crankshaft or camshaft position sensors) could exacerbate engine knock.
Suggested Steps:
ECU Diagnostics and Testing: A deeper diagnostic tool (beyond a basic OBD-II scanner) might be needed to assess the health of the ECU. You may need to visit a dealer or a mechanic with advanced diagnostic tools to run a full check of the control unit.
ECU Reprogramming or Reset: In some cases, a software update or re-flash can resolve checksum errors. This might be an option if the ECU isn't physically damaged.
Check Electrical Connections: Inspect the wiring harness, connectors, and grounding points associated with the ECU. A faulty connection can lead to memory errors or erratic performance.
Replace the ECU: If the issue cannot be resolved through reprogramming, you may need to replace the ECU. Before doing so, confirm this diagnosis, as an ECU replacement can be expensive.
Given the engine knock and the nature of the hard code, it's essential to act soon, as running the engine in this state might cause further damage. | |

We have done everything its suggested and we had the ECU tested and its internally damaged. We are not getting it replaced but repaired for £300 and not £1200 new part.
How i use it to fix cars. I either put in the fault code and describe the fault with the car or somtimes i just put make and mode and describe the fault it will give you an idea on whats wrong. [Post edited 15 Oct 2024 9:47]

I use it to "fact check" my code. Very very powerful when bringing recursion into the mix. |  |

Yeah same. Dont know if you use Visual Studio or VS code but the Copilot extension is really good. I was struggling with transforming some XML in a C# function as the structure of the source XML was rubbish. I just put the input XML and the output format I wanted into Copilot along with some transformation rules and it did a decent job for me. I expect developers will be fired soon Danno, and Copilot will do our jobs! | |

Ha, good luck to anyone trying to remove a developer above junior.
For me at least, the coding bit is the easiest part of the job, it's all the modelling that's the difficult bit. | |

Where I work we have a proprietry platform that plugs into 15 or so LLM. We have trained everyone in the organsiation to use it and encourage them to do so every day.
Some are running with it more than others, but its a core business tool already. The quality of the prompts is the key bit. Rubbish in, rubbish out.......some of our propritary promts run to 10 plus pages but once you have them you can use them again and again! |  | | |

I made this analogy the other day
A coder is not a software engineer
A coder is a cook to the software engineer's chef
Didn't make much difference, they still expected me to fix the paper jam. | |
