Benefit of AI? (lemmy.world)

Maybe I'm seeing shadows in the clouds, but it seems like AI means a lot more people have been building open source tools.

I'm an AI skeptic, but I'm wondering if this can help undermine some of the shit software industry. Most AI tools sold by companies have an open source alternative.

I'm thinking that maybe AI will accidentally allow the private person to build free tools and reduce the market value of sold tools.

your premise is flawed. using AI to do this shit is like using a twin-engine F-14 Tomcat's afterburner to clear the snow from your driveway. and to get you started to ditch your shovels and shit and help your muscles atrophy, Northrop-Grumman is subsidising the insanely humongous fuel bill and maintenance for the first year.

it's not sustainable. it's not ethical. it's fucking disastrous to the environment, local and at large. and it tends to blow up the house you've built, for no fucking reason.
