Why not use them yourself if you have access? I have been using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for gardening recently, and while it's not perfect(and can be a little blind unless you tell it to focus on a specific thing), it's helped me understand how to keep my plants alive in some challenging conditions(for me; this is my second or third attempt at gardening so it's all challenging lol). But just a experiment with it and see where the capabilities lie. I do agree that certain classes of visual data are challenging for it.


I've used them a bunch. I want to learn from other people's experiences as well.

Some of my notes so far:

- https://simonwillison.net/2024/Apr/17/ai-for-data-journalism... - my datasette-extract plugin, for structured data from both text and images

- https://simonwillison.net/2024/Apr/17/ai-for-data-journalism... - where they failed to extract data from a handwritten scanned document in various weird ways

- https://simonwillison.net/2024/Feb/21/gemini-pro-video/ talks about video inputs to Gemini Pro (which are actually image inputs, it splits them up to one frame per second)
