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.

Aren't you worried about you posts on Lemmy being stolen too?

I guess it sucks somewhat, but my comments are worth a lot less than my code, and with any luck, the model will become more leftist from my influence :p
