I pay for Gemini and I haven’t used it in months. I don’t see any real case uses for me as an engineer. It just produces trash I have to fix and could have avoided if I did it myself in the beginning.

Why do you continue to pay for it?

  Some folks like pissing into the wind.

  I like to make videos with it occasionally. They are fun to make.

    Yeah, playing with it for fun to see what you can make it come up with is a perfectly reasonable use case, if it weren’t for the environmental cost…

    That’s why I don’t do it often if at all at this point. I had my fun.

It’s good at making up realistic looking fake data for testing and mock-ups, instead of the usual Person A in Town B.

Small scripts also work out as long as they’re small enough to print on a piece of paper.

Writing some sales fluff in a document also works reasonably well.

But those are just niche applications. For something serious it’s not really usable so far.
