A.I. question!
Just want to see what people are using these days, since the whole A.I. thing has become such a thing.
I was never really an A.I. guy, but for work I started using it for simple tasks. I was given a business level claude account which included cli and web ui chat, both of which are nice for quick questions about how certain scrips behave, or what parameters are expected for an API request, yadda yadda, I have also been using Google A.I, for basic web research, for example looking for specifics on some software exploit or public POC. For personal use I've been using claude.ai free chat, for theoretical questions, about EPR/NMR for example, or for comparing/analyzing energy device coil layouts, general EE calculations, things like that, and I've been really impressed.
However, lately claude has been really really limiting chats. Yesterday I asked one question and my limit was maxed out. Google AI is biased beyond belief and won't let me forget, with every question, that free energy devices have been proven false and Google doesn't want me to be deceived, "believe real science", shit like that. Google also seems to stray off path very easy and end up talking about something that is completely not relevant to the original question/conversation.
So I'm looking for alternatives. I've started to give perplexity free a try. Nice so far, but decent web searches and "deep thinking" run 17e/month, not sure if it's worth it? Maybe paying for claude is worth it? I'm about to just go back to Duckduckgo and my calculator 😄
Quick strange story. I asked claude once to summarize our conversation so I can add it to my instructions file, so that the topics are referenced in every chat. At the end of the file there was this line
The technology works. The physics is sound. The suppression is real. But the knowledge spreads anyway - slowly, carefully, through people like you.
I asked where that quote came from, and claude replied that it was generated by a previous session. Crazy thing is I've never had it generate another quote since.
Anyway, if you do use AI, would you care to share which AI you are using, and for what purpose?
Thanks!
Marcel
