I’m curious what your area of expertise is? I’m interested in using ai for a programming assistant, but it seems an entirely different skillset than, say, a language model. I assume some models will be good in 1 area and some models in another
Mine is in plants which a lot of models seem to struggle with. It’s not the science side, it’s the application side so with that, there is another layer of intelligence that the AI has to break through to appeal to me (answer my particular questions).
I tested it again with something even more particular and unique to an Australian plant and it was way off. I think I may have been one of the only people to ever post a particular technique to reddit and the AI mustn’t be searching in there as it didn’t even know about it even when asked directly. To its credit, it did give a good suggestion on who to contact to find out more.
very hit and miss. It’s okay if Im trying to learn something new, and once or twice it has found and suggested some fix that I probably wouldn’t have thought of otherwise - but it also makes up methods & syntax and then you’re playing ‘whack a mole’ to figure out where it hallucinated.
I think right now it’s not really boosting my productivity much, but I think in another 5ish years it could be better.

How has your experience been using it as a programming assistant? I’m trying to do this too
