I was paying openai, but with all the current politics, it looks like I’m probably going to switch to Anthropic.
I don’t have the resources or patience to run my own.
I don’t pay for them yet, just use the free version for my phone, but Mistral AI seems like and ethical company.
They run a a more lightweight and environmentally friendly model and think they even open-source/weight their models too. I think like 56B parameters instead of like 600b that open ai and antrhopic probably use.
Being a smaller model it’s not as powerful as the big ones, but it’s pretty good!
oh the mistake of writing “AI” in lemmy lol. I have made this mistake before, you’ll recover
I’ve paid for a few months of Midjourney to create some portraits for a few gaming characters. That’s about it.
none. I have never, and will never, pay for it.
I don’t pay for a single one, I’ll use their free services for a specific question to have it summarize the internet basically. I try and avoid chatgpt.
At work we have an internal AI system, and Claude. I utilize both of these to make my workload smoother - but have been finding myself just coding more often than using them because they almost all eventually produce garbage and refuse to listen when you say it’s wrong.
I get the Proton AI with my subscription but barely use it
lumo. it’s (begrudgingly) been useful a few times
I make mine address me as comrade and that’s kinda fun at least.
I keep forgetting Proton has an LLM model available
They’d have to pay ME to use their bullshit, and it wouldn’t be cheap.
Perplexity
It seems that Thaura and Lumo are not beholden to big tech or involved in genocide / mass surveillance, so I’m comparing those at the moment. But I keep my usage as low as absolutely possible.
None, I find the free plan enough for me.
None… or Apple Intelligence, if you count being in the Apple Ecosystem as paying for it. The only way I know of to pay directly is to use the new creative suite, which is like $13/month. I don’t have that.
I don’t actively support (or use) any of them, and my computer/phone platform of choice since 2016 (so, before this mess) always used the derpy AI (Siri/Apple Intelligence).
Seeing as AI has been in video games since about 1977, I’d say quite a lot.
None of this new horseshit though, fuck all that. It’s just a buzzword for morons.
Perplexity and grammarly
me personally none, but our family has the 2tb Google drive subscription for family photos (in case of our NAS fails). That subscription comes with Gemini but I just use free chatgpt because I mostly use it as a ‘straight to the point search engine’.
For example I asked today if Vive 3.0 VR trackers work under a blanket, then a followup if competitor SlimeVR does.
I’m in IT, my company is trying to offer it as a service and sell it. I’m fully against it, but can’t voice my opinion since I do like my job and what I do. It really sucks.
