A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

I realise this is a tricky topic and I hope it's ok to ask this question. I genuinely want to hear how AI has changed people lives for the better. If you really hate AI I get it, but this isn't a question for you then. Thank you and it's all love.

(Edit: Thank you to all the positive commenters and for sticking with me through the inevitable negativity. Lots of really interesting comments in here ๐Ÿ˜ We mustn't let ourselves be intimidated by those who would try to forbid us from having these conversations. Thanks again)

Some good uses ive found reliably:

  • Plugging in large or complex articles to give a summary or highlights
  • Suggesting what I can do to rewrite/improve emails
  • Roleplay out performance and HR scenarios
  • Create HR documents with accuracy
  • Translating documents into other languages. Though when I give these documents to patients I let them know I had to use AI to convert. My workplace won't convert them for me officially which would be best answer
  • Some search inquiries. I found the answers are only as good as how you word your ask and I always check its citations. Rarely wrong for my questions

What it doesn't do well:

  • Meeting Minutes
  • Converting my results into documents
  • Making document templates or modifying them
  • Excel

Though things would also be much easier if my work just provided me with this stuff like documents in the right languages or enough HR they dont have to tell me to initiate my own investigation (They are 6+ personnel short but this is absurd!!!)
