Your points are valid, but I look at AI as an unavoidable trend in the tech space, which is why I experiment with local models. I'd rather understand how they work (and how to protect oneself from them) as I believe avoiding them isn't really possible in my field.
Thus far, the local models I've worked with have gotten a C- on coding, but an A+ on bullshit. I think the tech still has a long way to go before it lives up to the hype, both negative and positive.
I work at a company that won't allow us to use a search engine but has a local model we're allowed to use, and this is a pretty apt summary.
How do you get anything done at all??
Right? I just do my best to ignore the bot and only enter queries any first year CS student would know. The rest comes from my memory and a few bookmarks I have saved.
