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.

a lot more people have been building open source tools.

These tools would be a lot more useful if the people building them also released the prompts/instructions they used for the AI to build them under an open license as well.

The prompt is more important than the output, since it is human made and the limiting factor.
