What are you using AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity AI) for in your daily routine? (lemmy.zip)

Been using Perplexity AI quite a bit lately for random queries, like travel suggestions.

So I started wondering what random things people are using it for to help with daily tasks. Do you use it more than Google/etc?

Also if anyone is paying for Pro versions? Thinking if it's worth it paying for Perplexity AI Pro or not.

Yeah Gemini's tone is weird. It is constantly reminding you that Gemini does not have an opinion on anything. It actively tries to avoid giving definitive answers whenever possible.

That's related; what rubs me off the most is how patronising it sounds - going out of its way to lecture you with uncalled advice, assuming your intentions behind the prompt (always the worst), and wasting your time with "social grease". And this is clearly not a consequence of the underlying tech, as neither Claude nor ChatGPT do it so bad; it's something that Google tailored into Gemini.
