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.

    I tried use AI to help me with self host. It gave me incorrect information and I wasted hours trying to read the docs and the AI slop to make sense of everything.

    In the end, reading the docs was all that I needed.

      I googled for the default port of dynmap, AI gave me the minecraft default port. I knew it was wrong, but that would have been annoying if I didn’t know that.

      Seems it has been fixed now, but definitely kills the trust.
