We often hear that AI is going to take our jobs. I can't say if this will happen in the future, but my experience is that for now it's just a tool, which is only useful if you already know how to do your job.
Every now and then, my Mastodon or LinkedIn timelines are full of messages either praising or condemning the use of AI tools for coding. Are they good or bad then? As usual I think the truth is in the middle, or to be more precise: it depends on how you use them.
iA Writer recently introduced Authorship to help writers keep track of external contributors. The feature is brilliant but its implementation creates issues for static websites generators. I implemented a workaround and wrote some feedback for iA.
Being able to run a Large Language Model locally also means to be able to use existing models (fine tuned for coding) to implement a self hosted solution to replace GitHub Copilot. In this post I will talk about my personal experience.
