No doubt there is currently a lot of shit done with AI/LLM. I also see, that the AI race is absolut madness and there will be a big crash some day.
But LLM/ML are tools (let’s not call it AI, there is nothing intelligent), and these tools have use cases.
It’s all about using them the right way. Currently it’s more like „When you have a hammer, everything seems to be a nail.“

@keisatsu @Gargron @imhotep @skavish And in addition: May you should reread my post. Nothing in my post is about development, it’s about arguments.
I wrote the „I’m not a dev“ exactly to tell, that it isn’t about developing.

@keisatsu @Gargron @imhotep @skavish So I need to be a dev to understand that using the argument being a maintainer of a FOSS project is enough expertise for him, but not for Linus?

In one answer he said: „I’m right, because I’m a FOSS maintainer. Period.“. Here he says, that being a FOSS maintainer isn’t a argument for being right.

I don’t need to be a dev to understand language and understand, that this both posts are contrary.

@Gargron @imhotep @skavish And to be clear, this isn’t meant as any attack, I just stubpled upon this argumentation and got a little confused, as it feels inconsistent.

@Gargron @imhotep @skavish On the other hand you say in another post, that you have never used AI, but maintaining one of the biggest FOSS project on GitHub is enough expertise.

Im no Dev, but I assume Linux may be a even bigger FOSS project and Linus explored AI. According to your argumentation, he is as capable as you, if not more, to make guesses about GenAI.

Or what’s the difference, that make your opinion superior to his one?
