@urlyman what a compliment! Jonathan, you've made my day.
I agree with your advice. when polling stuff my rules for my conduct are:
1. it's a learning exercise, not a judgement exercise. judgement precludes honesty, so no judging in the thread.
2. trust is essential. trust others to be honest, generous, fair, curious, open, and cool.
3. we each define things our own way. the only way they get used is for us each to use them.
4. people who boost polls are lovers of learning, and I adore them! 🤌@urlyman woops, how could I forget: all credit for this reprisal (and all future ones in this vein) goes to @jesuisatire whose idea it was to track behaviour over time by doing it every 3 months.

How frequently do you chat with LLM?
@falcennial Never on purpose, but I'm sure the damn thing is pretending to be a person answering corporate emails a few times a week on average

@falcennial
I agree with some comments about defining the question, but that's the usual problem with a poll. If you tried to define it thoroughly, the question would be too long (and still not cover all possibilities).It's interesting that some responders define "chat" as voice only. Chat was always any medium, and "chatroom" was a popular term for online discussion groups. Perhaps some commenters are too young to remember. I feel old now.
@sunflowerinrain nothin old about it! the streamers and so forth even address each other as 'chat' meaning the group chat where people type their chatter to the group.
I'm sweeping this one under the "some people have narrow definitions of stuff" rug and leaving it there!

@falcennial some fairly obvious social-desirability bias... then again, this is still social media...

@falcennial I voted a few times a month - however it is closer to a few times a year, but if you count Google or Bing searches, that's several times a day. I'm trying other search engines but they are not as good. Any suggestion is welcome
@skulesz thanks for contributing, Panni. interesting experience.
lot of extremely resourceful, highly technically capable people around this website. I fully expect somebody will have impressive advice for a good modern search experience.

How frequently do you chat with LLM?
I’m curious to know what your definition of “chat with LLM” is as opposed to a non-chat use of an LLM.
My job is forcing me to “boost my productivity
” and I’ve had a LLM “summarise” some things. But it’s definitely me giving it a command and just seeing what it comes up with. It’s not a back and forth with it like some people do. Is every interaction with a LLM a chat?
-
@falcennial As many people said: This question is badly worded!
"chat" as in having a casual conversation: Never
"chat" as in using it as a tool for work: Several times per month
@Quantium40 no. my question is definitely worded correctly. it contains the right words in the right order to pose the intended meaning, in good faith, to the intended audience. it is, by definition, a perfect question so don't need worry about problems with it; none will ever exist.
if you need a dictionary for definitions that's ok, but if you have your own definitions of the words and concepts used, please use them.
speaking multiple languages is impressive! thank you for participating.

@falcennial i chat with ai everyday, and i call ai to do what it can do, and it do very good.
The important thing is that you know what it can do, and where is his boundary?

@falcennial I wish I got a choice. Its on my performance review at work.

@svavar personally my current definition of chat is a back and forth of 3 or more message volleys. (not 3 each, 3 total).
I would leave definitions up to the answerer's judgement though. dictionaries have useful ones so if it's a puzzle one can't put into words, a judgement call or a dictionary check are both legit ways to do it.
I find the huge diversity of people's experiences very educational.

@falcennial I wish I could put none at all, but Claude is ubiquitous at work. I've limited it to one condition. If I'm pretty sure the person I'm going to ask will ask Claude and paste me the response, as frequently happened, I cut out the middle man. It's damn depressing though.
@howrd really interesting. what ludicrous situation, well described.

@falcennial I waste enough tokens daily to ensure the corp realise this is unsustainable.

@falcennial note: I only use locally run models.
@rwwh @falcennial which ones do you use?

@falcennial
I actively avoid using any form of AI.
Unfortunately, it's occasionally unavoidable at work. I switch it off whenever possible.@Sarahw That's one of the major issues with LLMs, how they've been non-consensually forced into everything we've been used to relying on for years. Then add the electricity, the water, the noise... It's really hard to like it as an industry.
There was a brief moment when I thought the idealised version of the tech could be quite neat. But they veered off that course super early.
-
@falcennial I suspect you'd get better results if you asked how often people use, rather than chat with, LLMs - chat is too vague
@rnichols1 thanks!
3,370 people answered the it exactly as it has been asked within one day! 559 put it in front of people who trust them, in case they might like it as well.
a response like that is awesome, humbling, and way beyond my wildest hopes for the quantity and quality of it!
I don't know what you imagine by way of improving upon THAT, so I'll leave loftier ambitions to others. I'm still coming to grips with the huge, constructive, and positive reception my own question is having.
