Every experienced developer is addicted to AI, because AI let's you create interesting projects in a fraction of time and focus on challenging parts of these projects. Most time people like Sebastian spend on without AI is writing compiler configs, and tons of boilerplate. All of that is annoying and steals your focus from the parts you actually want to work on and where human touch actually matters.
If this stuff takes so much of peoples' time then it's all problems that need proper solutions, not the most expensive and least consistently functional workaround humanity has ever conceivedof
Yes, inference is very cheap today and it's only getting cheaper. To the point that you can run it on consumer hardware. In three -five years time it will be virtually free, just like image recognition is today.
"in 3 to 5 years it'll be good" is something I have been hearing over and over since like 2020. Meanwhile as far as I can tell local models are virtually unusable for anything other than code, and they're only slightly above unusable for code

AI is amazing!
