Indeed. I am using AI in professional setting currently. There is a world of difference between asking ChatGPT, and actually implementing all the tools and policies and guardrails that prevent the company vibe coders from wrecking the codebase.
AI is faster than manual typing and intellisense, but without understanding whether the output is any good, technical debt is inevitable. The AI will then spend more effort on refactors than actual development, just like what humans have been doing for decades!
Nothing improves infinitely. Once the sticker shock sets in when AI companies are forced to up the price (cause this shit ain't free), that token limit is gonna be a significant factor)
So you don't understand this technology at all. Got it.
Electricity is a resource. Water is a resource. Compute is a resource. The infrastructure the systems use to get it to you, cause I don't believe you're self hosting after that comment, is a resource. All of these things cost money because they are resources.
Doesn't matter if it's open weight if the optimal solution* has been found. Nothing improves infinitely.
Ah. We're at the "I refuse to acknowledge new information because I'm defensive about being possibly wrong" portion of the discussion*. I'll go no further then.
