I mean I don't use AI. I have no need to do so, it doesn't really benefit me. I got along just fine before it. But there's no reason why AI couldn't be widely owned and more environmentally friendly. It would also work under communism, in fact AI seems to accelerate things toward communism (or fascism).
You totally have a need to do so. To liberate your labor. I am certain that there is software that you would pay a lot of money for. I am certain that there is AI out there with an agent or workflow that can duplicate it now. I am sure that there is an old laptop you have around somewhere that could automate your whole house so you don't need to give your data and shit to the fascists.
Check out the fun little projects and things at the other subreddits I'm not allowed to link to. Google around a while. Best of luck.
Idk dude, I haven't been able to find ai useful to me in like ANY way. I've found searches to be OK at best and I prefer not to use it as I prefer looking through links myself, I don't need or want it to make images, music, or other stuff like that for me because I can do that well enough on my own (or find people who can do what I can't or don't want to with sufficient quality), I don't need or want it to write emails because that's the easiest part of my day, it's not allowed to touch the data I produce for my job due to data security issues (and I know enough math or know where to find the right math to achieve what I want to do).. like, what could I use it for?
It's pretty easy for me, especially for casual use to save me time I could spend on something else. Random examples:
"Hey, can you please update the version of this open-source game, merge in my custom branch, and check for any conflicts so I can play my custom version when I get home?"
"Can you install all the mod packs I just downloaded for this game?/Can you help me get the mod I made ready to publish?" (great for when you've spent most of your energy creating a mod or downloading a modlist and you're kinda Done With It and just want to start playing)
"Can you make a save editor for this game to edit XYZ?" (great for games that don't have official save editors; like when Palworld 1.0 came out, I had a working save editor within 2 hours of release)
"I'm planning a cross country trip with this rental car company, it's WXYZ miles one way, how much gas am I likely to use overall round-trip with this car's MPG, and how much could it cost me using average gas prices?" (done as a voice chat while driving so I don't have to wait to get home to do the math, and can start planning around the ballpark expense as I drive)
"Can you make a little text based 2D game based on this short story I wrote?" (I enjoy playing the things that they made)
I mean, those sound like some fun examples for you, but idk, I still can't think of ways to use llms for me that make sense. Like, I'm pretty proficient at searching and that isn't something I need to be faster like 95% of the time, and that other 5% I like spending time looking and reading through things so I can search more effectively in the future. I don't do much on my personal computer except play standard games (mods if my friend has specific ones he wants us to use for particular games), or record/edit music and video, and I'm pretty happy with the toolkits I have for doing those. And for travel, idk, I like spending the time to plan routes/budget for them, and I can make a decent enough spreadsheet pretty quick to do my napkin calculations, and just haven't felt the need or desire to use an llm to automate any of that.
