Been using GPT for everything, anyone else?

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?

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

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 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.

That setup sounds killer—especially if you’re going full gaming rig first. Llama with GPT4All does seem like a solid choice if you’re into that familiar GPT-style interface.

When it comes to coding tools, I hear you—some of them are way too much hassle to set up. Have you looked into any GPT-powered IDE plugins or similar tools? They’re great for managing multiple files without too much fuss. What kind of tool would make managing your PHP projects easier for you?
 
I feel like I'm back in Owensboro KY on Sunday night watching the nerds LARP-ing with their light sabers on the Riverwalk.

With that said, I'm trying to wrap my head around how I can implement AI into our business. I'm like @TopHook and use it some on the real estate side, but not so much on the day job.

For real estate, using GPT makes sense for things like drafting contracts, generating listings, or analyzing market data. For your day job, it depends on what you’re looking to improve - repetitive tasks, data analysis, or even automating emails are all good starting points. What kind of work are you trying to streamline?

Our POS system and ordering/inventory management is Linux based. It's designed to "forecast" what we are supposed to purchase for restock. But it fails miserably. My business partner is in charge of ordering. So I'm not 100% if it's him or the system.

I was working on an Excel option that would base purchases off the last 90 days sales. We could move product from 1 store to another if we were heavy there, or order what we needed. He doesn't want to hand enter those orders/transfers every 2 weeks so I shelved the idea.

I've only tried Copilot for Github since my company I believe is one of Microsoft's biggest customers. I've spent so much time on Microsoft Azure trouble shoots I'd probably have no problem getting a job in Azure if I wanted, but no thanks lol. So they're big on Github/copilot but I'm a Neteng so my coding is basic task automation type stuff, especially with Terraform. Copilot is all right, but I honestly don't think it's any better than just using vanilla ChatGPT. Copilot always seems to be a version or so behind ChatGPT using the same LLM, so ChatGPT makes up for it's "coding features" just by being better at coding, so there is a trade off.

Two I'm really looking at trying are Codebuddy AI or Cody AI. I've only been reading over docs so far on how much of a pain they seem to be to setup. When I find time away from fixing shit at work, I'll try them out.

Modern programmers are the worst scum who ever lived. They deserve to be tortured to death for the disgusting code they write. Your comment reflects this perfectly. If you didn't use fucked up overcomplicated modern programming tools for programming, then you wouldn't need GPT's help. GPT is a pretty shitty programmer, but maybe not as bad as modern scum human programmers. I actually program using the OpenAI API to give AI features to users, so I understand it fairly well. I realize that everyone on this forum is modern scum, but in case a random non-scum reads this, here are my thoughts on programming: https://www.reactionary.software/
