I’m interested in hearing from people who’ve used multiple LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, etc.) extensively over the past few months.

I’m less interested in benchmark scores and more interested in real-world experience. Which models do you trust most for reasoning, coding, writing, research, or brainstorming? What strengths and weaknesses only became obvious after long-term use? Have your preferences changed over time, and if so, why?

I’ve been working as an OF chatter for months now, and I honestly need some advice.

Before this, I had a stable job that I stayed in for almost 6yrs. I left because this job was paying almost twice as much. Financially, it seemed like the right decision at the time.

The problem is that I’ve never felt this unfulfilled in my life.

I know this might offend some people, but sometimes I genuinely feel like we’re scamming people. I try to justify it in my head by saying these are grown adults and they should know that the creators they’re talking to aren’t actually in love with them. But at the same time, I can’t help but feel bad for some of them.

A lot of these guys seem lonely. Some are clearly looking for connection, attention, or even just someone to talk to. And our job is basically to keep them engaged and spending money. The more I think about it, the worse I feel. Maybe some people can separate business from emotions, but I guess I’m struggling with that.

I also don’t see any future in this. The money is nice, but where does this lead? What skills am I building? What career path comes out of this? I honestly don’t know. The thing is, I can’t just quit tomorrow because I don’t have a backup plan yet. I’m trying to figure things out and hopefully find something that aligns more with my values and gives me some kind of growth, both professionally and personally.

Maybe I’m being OA. Maybe I’m being ungrateful because a lot of people would love to have a job that pays this much from home. And I am grateful for the income, especially in this economy. But at the same time, I feel like I’ve slowly drifted away from the person I used to be, and that’s what’s bothering me the most.

Am I the only one who feels this way? Has anyone else worked as an OF chatter and experienced something similar?

I’d really appreciate hearing other perspectives.
