What AI do you use to solve CG software puzzles ?
sublime tool
I use $20 ChatGPT subscription and Google Gemini . Much to my surprise Gemini sometimes knows better when I need to recollect some condition checkbox I need to check in for something to work.
Wonder what you guys think? GPT seems lazy to look through actual documentation lately , I need to ask it to do it specifically. Am I imagining it ?
ps. Gemini sometimes replay me on a sort of general question : "we humans believe" that sounds a bit creepy.

All make up shit, all are pretty good at some things. In my experience they make similar errors and come to same conclusions, smooth talk you into believing what you decide it the best decision ever.
But ultimately also very helpful at times, making tools, explaining workflows, walking through nodesetups. IF THEY DONT MAKE UP STUFF
All models i tested use to shit talk about zscript, that was a bit funny. Also much more painful than doing simple things for blender or maya. Max is also a bit more painful at times
the models are much more inclined to read the docs and reason from them rather than checking stackoverflow / reddit for a premade solution and making shit up if they can't find it
I think the free tier is still pretty generous but even if not, the $20 monthly is pretty cheap and you can pause payment easily
What I know and what might come after are derivatives of what has been learned and can be figured out. There aren't really any "puzzles" anymore.
Short answer: I don't use AI to solve puzzles and give me answers/write my code/make my nodes. But AI is a really good "search" tool since it scraped the net anyways, now I can find that obscure bit of information.
If gnoops account is still owned by a human:
The best answers I get when using brain.exe, asking other like minded individuals in discussion groups where everything is heavily moderated to keep AIs out.
Docs, Wikis and toying with the tools you have helps too.
