something AI is good at that I think is underrated

 I use ChatGPT/local LLMs etc a fair bit.

I have mixed results on lots of things, but one thing I seem to have really good luck with is making ical files. 

Or more specifically I can copy/paste basically any schedule I have, maybe give one or two additional pieces of info (maybe all the locations are the same so I let it know or whatever).

Ask for an ics formatted output.

Just

 

Works

 

This does get me wondering, what other things does it do solidly and not hallucinate.

 

Do you have any use cases where AI just works, and oddly doesn't hallucinate, just works? 

AI workout/health buddy

 I started using a local LLM to be my health coach. I'll admit at first it wasn't doing terribly great but I am inclined to think it's doing better. I've played with some initial system prompts a bit, but I think just more information has been the biggest help.

Let's backup a bit. I started using ChatGPT for a bit as a health coach, but didn't love feeding all my personal data to it (I do enough already, I need to find ways of cutting back even more on using it). This led me to using a local model. Like I said it wasn't amazing at first but I think it's getting better. Plus now I save off every message I send and receive, so I can swap models if I want, or I can process the data programmatically. 

I use it to help suggest food options, and what to do when I'm not sure what to eat. I tell it about any minor health annoyances (such as heartburn) and this morning asked it for a 20inute workout routine. (Which took me about 25 minutes because I'm not nearly as in shape as I'd like).

I've been trying to figure out as I save off my info, if I can/should be finding ways to tag it so I can maybe separate my questions, but for now it's all integrated.
