How do you use AI ? \ stacker news ~AI

Curious what unique and interesting ways people have been using AI in their daily lives, besides what seems to be the obvious, programming / vibe coding use cases.

Would love to know what sorts of projects others have created within ChatGPT that they find themselves returning to frequently...

I mostly do research to create new tooling, but explicitly not with ChatGPT, because I am convinced that that (and all hosted chatbots with it) is a massive trojan horse, like FB. So I only use local implementations and I since a month and a bit I have a little set-up where I queue up large LLM requests and run it on rented cloud hardware.

Under (early) development:

A "dream" mode where idle GPU/NPU time is being used on a RAG knowledge base to re-prioritize knowledge and update importance of stored knowledge. I'm not sure if this is going to work. For now I'm re-tooling it completely because I started in a wrong direction with it initially.

In "testing":

A case builder that judges relevance of additional information to be added to a case. I.e. I can feed it a link, I'm currently working on this article from this morning. I programmatically extract all links and fetch all these, convert videos, podcasts and pdfs to text, which are added to a RAG knowledge base powered by all-MiniLM-L6-v2 as a sentence transformer. Then 2nd layer links are each examined for relevance, and so on. This is currently eating most my NPU on my laptop, especially since I'm messing with PDF transposition with minerU which takes for. ev. er.

In "production":

News article aggregation against clickbait titles (#1006868) I use this daily as an alternative RSS reader. I need to rework it though, I'm thinking to maybe use Airflow for orchestration, the prototype suxx because of NATS not being stable when ran locally (which was why I wanted that and not kafka).
I noticed that I use Brave's AI-enhanced search results more often than the algo results.

neat! i presume you meant you’re digesting that zerohedge article, not that you wrote it (unless you’re Tyler Durden)

interesting tools to shield yourself against clickbait world we now seem resigned to.

seems like there might be a market for some sort of community notes like tool that inspects articles for BS provides ratings for relevance etc 🤔

Ah yes, I'm processing it and all the links around it, because I did all that manually this morning so I can have a pretty good opinion about what the bot comes up with.

I use a little bit of AI every once in a while, it's pretty useful to get quick explanations and solutions to common problems.

It has also been really helpful for language learning for me, as it can do quizzes, definitions, and so much more, and correct you as you go.

When it comes to programming, it's useful for some common issues, but this is where it can fail. I wouldn't trust AI to lead a whole programming project, I've frequently see it generate broken code but the AI will confidently claim that it's all fine and will only admit the mistake if you point it out, so it's crucial to know what you are dealing with, this is why Vibe coding without knowing any programming is often a bad idea.

My most frequent recent use cases- friend group has gotten me addicted to gambling in fiat stocks, I know they are shit coins but it's a lot of fun and better than betting on sports.

I have a project for "Technical Analysis" (upload a screenshot of the recent price action chart) and it gives me support levels for when to invest in tranches. As someone who only knows the basics of TA this helps me fight my internal instincts to YOLO buy tops and get scared when the price drops - basically it helps you identify and buy dips. My buddy is great at TA but I was tired of bothering him constantly for advice. Here's the sample output for BTC daily chart today (o3): https://chatgpt.com/share/687a8d6d-379c-8000-a4eb-f0629bff3561
I have a second project "Investment Analysis"- you feed it a stock ticker and it gives you a great overview of the stock, the company, recent price action, headwinds, tailwinds, recent news, P/E, etc. Probably a lot of this is duplicated in other apps but it's very thorough and easily customizable to what you're interested in. Here's the sample output for analyzing OSCR (Oscar Health) - thinking of nibbling in if it gets <$12.5: https://chatgpt.com/share/687a8e28-5d70-8000-a368-9e988c0c7096

A friend mansplained to me the other day that freqtrade has an ai mode that apparently works "because it analyzes multiple granularities". I'm not a trader so idk about all that but it sounded intriguing.

Have you ever used a framework like that?

Does this cost extra? I bought premium a while ago but stopped using... I started talking to advanced voice mode for a while to help tutor me in Spanish but it started to get very repetitive (always asking me the same questions).
