You can use local models for free, it's just slower.
And local is usually less parameters. Reasoning on a local model is very poor.
Why would you not want to use all the tools available to be as efficient as possible?
There's a lot of dev teams that have to use local because their code is proprietary and they don't want it getting outside the network.
I still think that local models in places without internet are better then offline documentation.
WTF "vibe coding"? I'm not even wasting the electricity to googgle that one.
You can always tell when your on a new bug when you ask about error “exception when calling…” and AI returns your exact implementation of the error back as a solution.
Not really intelligent
I use ai to become a better coder, not to replace me.
Fuck AI

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.
