@aredridel @mnl right, yeah. the thing i both love and find to be extremely sad is that one of the biggest things that LLMs do, especially for amateurs and hobbyists, is translate natural language into a set of calls to existing tools. it's awesome that people who wouldn't know what to look for can do that, but it's a real shame when it gets presented as "look what i made" rather than "look at what everyone else as made and isn't it amazing that i can just use it for free"

not saying that's what's happening here, speaking more generally from what i've seen with people who have never programmed before picking up the tool, and instead of being introduced to a community of open source devs who have been working to make things for free for everyone for decades, the person is only exposed to the oracle and that remains the only point of contact or exposure.
