Been using GPT for everything, anyone else?

[plumbusAmongUs]

So, I’ve been lurking here for a bit, figuring out how things go, but finally decided to make my first post. Been messing around with chatGPT for everything from writing software to just brainstorming random crap. Honestly, it’s kind of a game changer. Anyone else been using it for weird stuff, or is it just me?

I use it for real estate listing remarks. I suck at the writing.

Hey Plumbus
I use X-AI named Grok
I believe Grok to be superior to Chatgpt.

Chatgpt censors answers and doesn't always tell the truth

That’s a solid use case. For me, I mostly use GPT for stuff like cleaning up code or getting through the grind of software development. It’s handy when things get messy or I need a quick explanation, without overthinking it. It’s not about making everything perfect but just about staying productive and not getting stuck on the little stuff when you’ve got a lot going on. Helps keep things moving, honestly

Yeah, I get where you’re coming from. It’s true that ChatGPT can be a bit more restricted at times, especially with certain topics, and it might not always give you the straight-up answer you want. It’s got built-in filters to keep things in check. Grok sounds like it’s more open and direct, no filters messing with the flow. That can definitely be a plus if you're looking for no holds barred info. But, the flip side is with less filtering, there’s more room for things that could be off or even wrong, depending on how it’s built. Both have their strengths, just depends on what you’re after.

I'll take a look at drink.

I use it for scripting and coding. Anything else I use Grok for. When Grok catches up on scripting and coding I'm going over there.

Next year I plan on building my own self hosted AI server and I'll probably run Llama. That's the only thing Zuck has done right, open source his AI, unless another one catches up that you can self host.

I think you used to be able to self host Claude, but not anymore.

Where does Chatgpt learn from?
I believe Grok learns from x mostly.
Or do the systems scroll the internet at large?

I have no idea about anything you just said but I think I will soon.
AI is pretty amazing.

GPT doesn’t really ‘learn’ in real-time by scrolling the web. It was trained on a huge chunk of text from books, websites, and other stuff up until its last update. So, it can pull from that data to generate responses, but it’s not grabbing live info from the internet. Grok might work a bit differently, but most systems like GPT learn from past data, not by constantly browsing the web.

Yeah, GPT's definitely still king when it comes to coding and scripting at least for now. Grok catching up there would make things interesting, though. Running your own AI server with Llama sounds legit. The open-source angle is such a game-changer, and honestly, I agree that Zuck actually got that part right.

The self-hosting options out there are getting better, but yeah, Claude pulling back from that lane kinda sucks. You planning to stick with Llama as-is, or are you looking into finetuning it for your projects? Curious how you'd stack it up against GPT or Grok in terms of performance once it's all set up.

I've just kind of been cursory keeping up on the self hosted side until I can afford building myself a mini mainframe with a badass GTX 5090 or something lol (And that comes AFTER I put one in my gaming rig), so right now I'm kinda leaning toward Llama with GPT4all since it has the kinda web frontend that I like, since it seems to want to keep the GPT type interface.

I really need to look into coding AI tools that interface with GPT more. Most of my scripting and coding is luckily nothing more than like a few files, maybe 10 at most for a PHP app that I made so I can get away with just using the default GPT input, but it would be nice if I had something that kept up with all the files properly. I know they're out there, but the ones I've researched seemed to be a PITA to get setup properly.
