Yeah, ive asked different AI models about cooking steak and even baking, and hobestly it has been super on point. It's useful af when I am super tired after work and have random crap in the fridge. I just tell it what I have, say I am tired and want something simple, amd it comes up with an idea. I dont do it too often, but there are days when I just dont have to mental capacity to be creative with random proteins and ingredients. It taught me how to make perfect mahi mahi filets.

do you not add a square of butter and 2 sprigs of thyme before returning it to heat a second time?

It is the only way.

Yes. I pan sear it, get a nice crust and then stick it in the oven until it reaches the correct temperature. Then I put it back on the stove with butter and thyme.

Ha, actually, I do. After searing both sides and the edges, I out a pat on top with sprigs before the bake

"Ai" is just a buzzword marketing term. Ai doesn't understand anything at all. It's math that "guesses" what word might come next according to a database.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I just told Gemini: "Mary was 5 back in 2005 when Jack was born. Now they're both twice as old as Derek. How old are they?". It recognized the contradiction and suggested that "both" might be interpreted as "the sum of their ages" as a way out of it and gave a solution based on that assumption.
A database doesn't do that.

Why wouldn't you just search for a recipe??? Are people seriously forgetting how to Google cause their brains are rotting from not being used anymore???
loma45
Have you ever used a recipe website? They're fucking terrible. I had Claude give me a recipe for banana bread, had it tweak it for the ingredients/amounts/pan size I had: it came out perfectly.
I don't think my brain has rotted - I actually know more about it now than I did before (it was my first time making it).

Google search also uses AI now though, and it's become *significantly* worse because of it... and it was already going downhill before that from them cramming ads and sponsored content into it so aggressively.

15 min per side is CRAZY lol.
wadatahmydamie
Depends on the thickness and a bunch of other factors, but yeah. The ones I make are either 90 seconds max, or I reverse sear them and give ‘em 15 seconds to shallow fry
DoctorWookie
In no world is a steak you're cooking in a pan going to take 15 minutes PER SIDE, regardless of thickness. At 15 minutes per side, you're making charcoal.
wadatahmydamie
I’ve made steak on the grill, on plain charcoal, in a cooler, in the pan, under the broiler, over an open fire, and in a smoker. I started cooking when I was 8, with peanut brittle when my parents weren’t home.
I can assure you that I get where you’re coming from, but you are limiting yourself.
DoctorWookie
To not eating charcoal? Or ginormous steaks that should be smoked instead? What steak are you cooking in a pan for 30 minutes? I'm actually genuinely curious. I really can't think of a reason to cook any steak that long in a pan.
wadatahmydamie
I used to cook ribeye on my stove at the lowest setting*. Season, no flipping, leave it until you can smell it on the other side of your home. I used to gasp at the idea of well-done, but this maintains the flavor, and the texture is as close as you can get to falling off the bone without it tasting shredded.
*your stove may vary. Experiment with petite sirloin so you’re not wasting money
Also, Matty Matheson has a butter basted rib steak recipe that calls for ~11 minutes a side on high heat.

The guy who bought my company is from India. When he writes, he automatically assumes a super-formal Queen's-English writing style. I told him that's going to produce weird results with our customers, and he should be more conversational in his writing. So he composes his emails, then asks the AI to change the tone to be more conversational. It's not what I would do, but it makes him feel less insecure.

I should use it to be less of a smart ass on teams chats. Converting what one really thinks into corporate speak might be a perfect use for AI.

As a programmer, it saves me lots of time looking up documentation and typing up boring code. TBH it's a bit humbling when it suggests my next 4-6 lines of code and all I have to do is tap Tab.

Totally understandable. I really only use it for two things. when I have random ass ingredients in my fridge/pantry, I'll use it to generate recipe ideas. Otherwise, when I have an idea for a DND session or one-shot, it helps me get a boat load of ideas to expound upon. It's helpful if you use it as a tool, not a crutch (looking at you, DAD)
Caughtintheconcentricelipsesofchaosanditsinnatemadness

How in the world am i supposed to get my Ollama with Docker, n8n, AnythingLLM and portainer running when i never worked with Linux before. Thats right Gemini and now i can play with all that without using data centers. It would have been a very long and slow process without AI.
textilelover
Gotta say, my son went from knowing nothing about Linux to getting all of us set up on with way more in depth stuff for himself than I understand and doing stuff to his phone for data privacy without even once using AI. It did not take that long. He's smart, though, and very interested in it.
eetsumkaus
I mean yeah, but sometimes you outsource cognition because your brain is slammed. We do this all the time already: it's called asking for help from other people.
loma45
I'm actually fairly pro-AI in terms of its usefulness - and that's exactly what it is: Outsourcing thinking. Sometimes that's fine, and other times it's a huge mistake.
I used it to help me buy new shoes - suggesting what style/color would go well with my wardrobe (I know nothing about fashion) and so it was a nice interactive way to get me the basic info I needed and a place to ask stupid questions.
In this case it actually helped me learn more about the topic than I would have otherwise.
cheezmuncha
I’ve used GPT for one task (after a friend insisted it would be amazing) to prepare some interview questions/answers for a job I was applying for. I was pretty happy with the results in the end; once I refined things a bit, got it to summarise in my own casual conversational style; I could edit as I pleased yet still had a good framework for a response to various possible questions that sounded professional. Then just used it as a dot point reminder of things to talk about, but in my own words.

AndroidSoul
I don't actually mind ai stuff like Google summarizing my search question into useful and easily readable info. The problem is that you've got to have a professional/assistant relationship. If you're not at least broadly able to tell when the ai has gone stupid, you get stuff like this. Ai is mainly useful for grunt work and annoying repetitive bullshit and should never be treated as the expert in the room

"AI overview" things like that are also helping wreck the Internet. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/07/research-shows-google-ai-overviews-reduce-website-clicks-by-almost-half/ A more recent article I saw said that some sites have seen drops in traffic by over 90%. (Adding to the list of how AI is wrecking the Internet: https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/articles/one-third-websites-now-ai-164206847.html )
AndroidSoul
Yeah, but the internet has basically been wrecked for a decade already. It sucks that there's traffic drop, but google search engine optimization and selling higher spots on the list has made getting seen a nightmare for a long time, and while ads pay the bills, I suspect most sites that aren't ripoffs are already pursuing alternate revenue streams

If you need help with keeping track of characters and relationships in your world, I can recommend using Obsidian with the Charted Roots plugin. It’s great for building families, factions and events and how things are connected. Really helps me keep my world feel alive and connected
textilelover
I'm really not trying to be a bitch, but I am confused why you'd do this? It takes me about 20-30 minutes to make a 1st lvl character from scratch. My backstory is good, the character fits in the world and the campaign. I've never used AI so I don't know what it would do for you or why it would take soooo long?
itsthevoiceman
Because I haven't played in 20 years. I used to play 3.5 with friends. This was both a means of better understanding newer rules, and also creating a fun little narrative - basically a single player campaign to have fun fleshing out the what's and why's.
textilelover
huh. Isn't writing the story a big part of the fun? Does it write it for you? I legit have no understanding what AI would do here. I've seen people use it to create images of their characters and that sort of thing. And how do you know you're getting the right rules and not some odd Reddit adaptation homebrew? Every time I see some AI summary it says "This was done by AI and may be wrong".
itsthevoiceman
I used it specifically as a means synthesizing my thoughts. I'm no writer, so I basically took ideas I had and enhanced them further. If details were wrong, I would point it back in the right direction. I would star coming up with more creative things around the story, and it helped fill in the gaps that I couldn't come up with. I treated it like a cooperative effort. Which is why it actually took hours, because I was prompting it and directing in a way that I wanted it to go.
TheOldSchoolisBack
AI is decent at certain tasks where you completely control the data. Summarizing a document or a financial statement, for example.It isn’t perfect, but it can be used (with verification) to reduce time spent on certain tasks.
My boss thinks it’s good for writing. He’s wrong, but his own writing sucks so its not a big loss
But following instructions from an AI whose e data feed is the entire universe of bullshit that makes up the modern internet? Might as well ask reddit pick a random answer

jaysjunkymail11
I used Ai recently when I wanted to have some team members ask themselves some introspective questions. I was able to give a topic and ask for introspective questions related to that. Some fit my use case and others didn't. But it was a helpful tool. Ai IS good at certain things. That said, generative AI can fuck right off.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
The problem is that it doesn't actually save time with tasks, including *because* you have to verify everything. In manufacturing, you can automate a lot of the verification and use random sampling; for LLMs the stakes of undesired outputs are too high and unpredictable for random sampling and automated checking is currently limited to hard coded restrictions on output.
TheOldSchoolisBack
Disagree. A lot of manual work alreadyady has to be verified. If a analyst writes a report using a big pile of data, it has to be read and verified anyway. Having AI do the summary in seconds allows that analyst to focus more time on the analysis portion, which is the value add.
When you control the data input, the AI hallucinations are less frequent and easily spotted. Only when you have questionable data (i.e. the universe of bad advice on the internet) does verification become burdensome.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
Studies on whether AI speeds up those tasks find that it slows down work.
TheOldSchoolisBack
That is dependent on data quality and existing processes. If the manual process involves someone using their brain to filter data (which is very common), AI struggles to replicate. If your process involves compilation of very high quality data and a built in review / QC step already, AI is an efficiency gain.
We are also very early in AI adoption, with a lot of haphazard implementation. Figuring out where it fits is the challenge, snd the a,ount of hype (and hate) sometimes gets in the way.
iaintcommentinonyourimage
I've never been able to wrap my head around how that doesn't just add more work if you can't trust it. You get it to summarize a document, then you have to verify the output which involves reading the document anyway - Is that not just writing a summary with extra steps?
TheOldSchoolisBack
No, because reviewing is faster than writing. And you can think of it as a first draft that would be assigned to a junior team member that needs to be reviewed.
Our junior staff also know this and use it to be more productive. Compiling data into an easily digestible format, or pulling source material, i.e. the drudge work that is part of being the rookie. Allows them to devote more time to actual analysis, which is the critical skill that is their real value add.
eetsumkaus
because sometimes checking it is less work than doing the work yourself. You have to know how to get to this point however.
For example, in the summary example, if you have enough background knowledge to know what is and isn't bullshit, you can take most of it as is until something doesn't quite feel right, then you just scan the document for that particular part and triage where it got it wrong. Btw, this happens all the time even if you read things yourself, at least Pass #1 didn't take time.
JaceTiger
AI is EXCELLENT when it's hyper focused on a specific task with clear, extensive data. Such as that one AI that determined what kind of donut was being sold (no barcodes) and they repurposed it to look for cancer cells.
Or the one that they plugged the math into and previous designs that worked and it gave them a new type of rocket engine that looks promising.
AI sucks at pulling and compiling answers from infinite conflicting opinions from infinite sources.
dieselfury
There's a meaningful difference in "AI" and "LLM"s. Most people are referring to LLMs or diffusion models when talking about AI slop. Perception, detection, forecasting, etc. machine learning models have been killer for a long time
Goldensands
There is no actual "ai". We have in no way build actual artificial intelligence. It's all LLMs. "Ai" is just a hijacked buzz term.
JaceTiger
LLM is "large language model" which is a subset of "artificial intelligence". They're also "general purpose ai" which is in a lot of new bots, though a lot ARE based on LLMs for their speech, and more specialized models such as that I mentioned, which have a specific thing (or set of things) they do and they do nothing else. The ones that forecast the weather are VERY good at that, but can't give you the steps to make gasoline from crude oil.
dieselfury
It's not "all LLMs", you're stuck on the consumer level. LLMs are context oriented language solvers, but the majority of useful neural network models are tuned to solving in intentional data sets. Forecasting, for example, not using a language model, its a discreet interaction model. Can an LLM do accurate forecasting? It'll try, but no, because it's sampling a distribution for an answer. But since you argue semantically, intelligence is the capability to reason and problem solve, that can
TheOldSchoolisBack
Agreed. Garbage in, garbage out. AI is a useful machine with good data to work with.
I have yet to see it nail a creative task well, though. It can create bad art, which really has no use. It can spit out a derivative of someone else’s art (whether visual, music, etc) on request, but with varying quality. But even when it does that well, there’s nothing creative about it.
JaceTiger
Depends on what you mean by "creative" but the ones used to shit out art are garbage. Creating a new type of vaccine, engine, fuselage, etc are pretty good at what they do.
Functional can be a work of art, but shitting out art on command is usually terrible
TheOldSchoolisBack
Fair enough. Creative in a technical sense rather than artistic . I hear that AI is having a bigger impact on innovation than on efficiency, but I don’t have direct experience there.
As for art, I see it limited to technical aspects. For example, if you tell it to write a symphony, its going to be bland crap. If you give it a symphony and tell it to arrange the same music for a solo piano, what you get might not be great, but its a workable starting point, to build the creative part around.
