Having DeepSeek on my laptop gives me a similar feeling to seeing physical encyclopedias on the shelf at home when I was a kid.

What all have you been using LLMs for? They are still nothing more than a toy for me, but I have some hope they may find some use eventually.

For me it’s replaced a lot of “How to…” Google searches. Also good for personal advice, e.g. assisting with fitness and diet changes, helping me prepare for things I’m not familiar with, that sort of thing. Also just good for deep philosophical chats when I’m in the mood for that.

The chat interface is why it’s often better than Google to me. I can easily ask follow up questions, ask for clarification, dive deeper into certain areas, provide personal context for more tailored advice.
