On AI usage

This is how I use AI and LLM tools.

I use the free web versions of Google Gemini, Mistral AI, and Perplexity (rarely) for queries I previously sent to search engines.

As a non-native English and Spanish speaker, I seldom use Google Translate and LanguageTool, an AI-based grammar checker.

I don’t use LLM tools for generating posts, emails, or any other texts I write.

I don’t use LLM tools for programming.

I don’t see any real advantages in using AI for anything. Meanwhile, the harm we inflict on ourselves chasing this new thing is already being felt and will grow.

There is no AI slop on this blog.
