"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I don't use mine for coding, but it can be useful for editing stuff, since a lot of agent-based systems can edit parts of a file instead.
The thing I have it do sometimes is parsing a bunch of markdown files, and parse data to put into the middle of a CSV, so it's not out of order. Since making a script read the markdown is non-trivial, and itls not something that needs to be done very often, it's easier to run a local model on the same machine and have it do that. Past a point, re-generating the entire file isn't feasible, since it either consumes so many tokens doing the output that it hits the output limit that's usually in place to prevent looping, or it takes an incredibly long time.
Is AI good for anything other than boilerplate code though? I worry when people talk about databases.
