Not sure if this is the best community to post in; please let me know if there's a more appropriate one. AFAIK Aii@programming.dev is meant for news and articles only.
I'm excited because I think AI will break down and erode proprietary file formats, for ultimate portability between different software providers. That for me is a game changer in how software is used, and opens up real competition and innovation. Thats not anything as grand as the AGI these founders keep vaporwaring, but I think it will still be substantial.
neural networks ("ai") are really cool, and if i get around to messing around with one it probably would be fun. the problem is not the neural network itself, but every. single. thing. other than it
tried ~~baking~~ making your own ai, like, as a joke? you'll know how bad "getting training data" is
I used Claude to code something. The thing is, it happilly creates the code, which looks quite professionally, and is soooo positive about itself. Then you try to run it, which ofcourse doesn't work. Next you feed it the error messages and it very very happilly fixes those bugs, all while being very fond of itself. After a few rounds of that, the code actually runs and does something.
Now I can get that it doesn't work from the first try, ours won't be 100% correct either, but the mistakes it makes tend to be because it mixes information of different versions of libraries.
And why is the damn thing so fond of itself? Everything it does it find "perfect".
I hate AI because I want to be able to afford RAM and storage again
The trick is to start an online business using AI and earn enough money to offset the extra hardware cost caused by AI use.
I like AI
