I recently set up a LLM to run locally on my desktop. Now that the novelty of setting it up and playing with different settings has worn off, I’m struggling to come up with actual uses for it. What do you use it for when not doing work stuff?

    Literally the only time I’ve used one, I was upset about something and just wanted somebody to talk to. Sooo I vented to chat gpt. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

    It felt sorta like talking to a therapist, except its tone was very formal/polite and every once in a while it asked you to choose between two different responses (for training or whatever), which would be pretty strange for a human to do.

      I don’t know if that’s so weird, mostly when someone is venting to me, I pause them and ask “do you need to be heard and express whatever you need to express or do you seek someone to process the things that you vent about with and actually talk about it?” — surprisingly this question makes a big difference and changes the overall tone dramatically…
