Kind of unrelated but if you are to start to learn about AI today, how would you do it regarding helping with programming (generating images too as side objective) ?
Having checking the news for quite sometimes, I see AI is here to stay, not as something super amazing but a useful tool. So i guess it's time to adapt or be left behind.
For programming, I find DeepSeek works pretty well. You can kind of treat it like personalized StackOverflow. If you have a beefy enough machine you can run models locally. For text based LLMs, ollama is the easiest way to run them and you can connect a frontend to it, there even plugins for vscode like continue that can work with a local model. For image generation, stable-diffusion-webui is pretty straight forward, comfyui has a bit of a learning curve, but is far more flexible.
Thank you, I'll check them out.
