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.

You can AI as hard as you like, you'll probably not manage to replace the really complex tools.

I have just started writing a laser cutter tool, and I tried some suggestions from AI for doing basic matrix transform calculations, and it was completely wrong. So I wouldn't trust it for anything moderately complex. That said, it was fantastic for the UI.
