I am not a “slopfan”. I do not use any of the techbros services, and never have outside of a few test runs in 2022 to see what it can do.
I only use local models running on my own hardware, and only to automate tasks that would take ages by hand (e.g. creating summaries about gameplay and features of my game collection from the game stores websites, helping me with RegEx or quickly creating one-shot python scripts for specific purposes - i am a terrible coder), or that make interacting with large technical documents easier (e.g. mainboard manuals). I have dabbled a bit with image generation, but it isn’t really interesting for me.
But denying that the technology can reduce workload on coders even when not generating code (e.g. unit tests, red teaming, reverse engineering) is immature. These tasks are also much less prone to cause AI psychosis, because i do not care about “chatting” with these models.
