Ask HN: Do you use LLMs for non-coding related work?

#1
LLMs are very good at code. We can argue on the merits of their other qualities, but we can all agree on that. However, code is a very small section of 'work'. OpenAI, Anthropic, Kimi, etc. all market "work assistant" products that are supposed to handle that other sections.

Are y'all using any of these products voluntarily? How do you use it? What do you like and what can be improved?

I understand I am sounding like a survey, but I am genuinely curious. I don't see how you can fit them in any organization without causing undue chaos.

Replaced wife, kids and mistress with chatgpt. The advantages are huge savings and much better talks. Finally someone who understands me and it is always ready. It does the laundry! All home work. Cuts the grass, shopps online for me... do gamming together... chatgpt is a women right? RIGHT??

I use it daily: 1. doc writing/editing: dont expect final polished papers but given a structure bullet points and data, it will quickly get me up and running. 2. automation of repetitive tasks: my team dont need to wait for tech support for smaller tasks anymore. Probably one side effect is, I get several escalations related to security concerns. But we are establishing some guardrails to avoid those. 3. summarising long email threads: this could seem mundane but life saver for me given I need to answer lot of emails often with long threads...
