Unless you are working on some engineering or scientific problem that needs these models to get to a solution, even if it works for you, it's still a waste of energy.
I had heavy problems to solve. Claude Opus could solve some. I could solve them too, but with claude it's faster. One recent problem would take around two days if I would do it, but claude did it in half an hour.
I'm not advertising claude, if it gives bullshit response I turn it off instantly. Like with every tool, you need to learn to use it.
Another example: In the app I work on, there's a huge list of city integration files. I had a loose set of specifications for a new city, and with claude I could roll out a new prototype in no time. It saved me about a month of work.
It's expensive and energy hungry for sure.
A tankie using AI, that's amusing. Could you explain why?
If I am the tankie you must be the lgbtq femboy. There's nothing wrong with it. We are here for different reasons :D.
Stereotypes aside, aren't you using one?
They are useful.
Who sets you those deadlines? This is just out of curiosity.
These are not deadlines. A task takes what it takes. We only provide an estimation.
