I accept AI is a tool for a user who knows the fundamentals, and hope it makes the citizen developers or people who are not trained in programming to get more systems thinking. Its best if it makes more programmers when they want to understand the stuff.

Fun analogy Kinda like power tools like are we tightening a screw using a screwdriver or doing it with a power drill. Case in point there is chance of ease as well as more risk while doing it with power drill.

You are absolutely right, it can be guided to produce code but needs corrections like its too easy to create unmaintainable solutions.

Also to untrained eye without good architecture, it does the job but when one who doesn't have architectural skill will think that's enough and there's no more room for improvement. This cause troubles in their production.

Like if it solves their pain points and makes them think systematically and critically. That is better.

What i don't like is giving much information to 3rd party service providers of AI developer tooling LLMs + Copilot and such, which is causing lot of real market level Risk for Indian IT Service Firms and has started costing jobs and literally erosion of market share because the service providers like Open AI launched their own firms like Deploy.Co.

Smaller companies who didn't know any better using tooling and developing stuff and on growth bringing professionals to fix mistakes has been happening long. There are literally companies who made solutions by Access and Sold it to clients, we literally told them even as competitors to compile the things as programs to avoid from future cases of fraud by their Users who were doing shady things.

Same mistakes Indian IT Service firms already did, trusting third-party AI Service providers across every division and department in companies.

Now Open AI and Anthropic are launching own Service firm/wing for maximizing ROI. Direct Competition. Huge Loss for Indian IT Service Firms.

They paid AI providers to Train own automated competition end to end so much so that they are learnt the gaps and how-to own the market by corrections, private IP Source code access and embedded expertise extraction (stopping short of calling it literal corporate espionage, they got all the know-how and especially for modernizing legacy tech and integrations).

They are untrustworthy especially where IP is involved.

Indian and other IT Firms who did not use private self-hosted AI for important things nor monitored the usage and did not train their employees to think what ( or how much) of our institutional knowledge goes out to third-party are already facing trouble.

Brings back lots of memories. The only way i used that tool was back when Chrome stopped forever history near about the year 2014-2015 and limited users to 90 days of history.

I was trying to wrap around my head like reading the comments trying how to put it back in. Wrong strategy without serious review does more of harm.

More than a decade of this fiasco Google Chrome should bring it back forever history, now they dont have an excuse for this, what i hear (google Chrome now downloads an offline LLM without considering data charges or space requirements in edge deployed server,etc.), and it will help users themselves as now most browsers except Firefox or Safari are Chromium-Based and they too inherited this shiny features with not-so obvious limitations.

The History bug in point - https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40358997

I am Not a googler, just a very good google user but hope those Googlers using them third party service providers' (other than Google) LLMs read this (manually critically thinking, not skimming via a LLM layer, losing structural human nuance) :

Fun read seeing even with all the tools in the world there is not enough soul or will to fix a very minor regression made by human error of judgement and other companies just accept that like their lives depend on it.

Good thing after reading the above article came to know its possible to use this https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium has a flag to store old history.
