I don’t know how everyone seemingly makes apps no problem, like it’s just that easy. I’ve tried manyyyy different approaches and the AI constantly deletes existing working code, or breaks functionality that was already working, seemingly doesn’t automate testing at all and I use up all my points trying to fix what it broke. It’s extremely annoying and expensive, so I gave up. Back to working with code by hand …
 
I’m sitting here going through our website page by page ensuring that it is WCAG 2.1AA compliant by 4/24/26. With Claude. I pay for it out of pocket but it was worth every penny ($200/yr). I can only dream of what it will do for curriculum. For 20 years I’ve been looking at either rewriting thousands of pages of Direct Instruction curriculum or purchasing rights to old versions from the 1990s for about $150M in order to making it freely available. Kids need to learn to read/write/do basic math/spell/have basic logic. And the DI stuff teaches ages 3 through middle school. I think Claude and other AI tools can totally make this possible.
Do you just give the AI the URL or do you paste the page code ?
 
So…let’s be clear.

We’re draining every known source of energy on the planet and sucking up a good portion of the global water supply to power the AI that trains this robot’s AI in order for it to walk around and cleanup my house as slowly and stiffly as I do as an old guy on Social Security.

And my light bill goes up just for the privilege of this thing doing what I do and as slowly as I do everyday.

Winning…..

but can it do my laundry or take out the trash?
I am seriously afraid, eventually A.I. tech lead to that. It appears to be one of the goals of Ex Meta AI chief LeCun’s startup AMI which just raised one of these ridiculous amounts of $$ for their “alternative approach to A.I.”. He said, "… current AI approaches based on predicting the next word or pixel will not produce broadly capable intelligent agents by themselves. We [AMI] want to become ⁠the main provider of intelligent systems … consumers could be interacting with is ⁠a domestic robot. You need a domestic robot to have some level of common sense to really understand the physical world."
 
People in these forums clearly don’t use these tools for work and it shows.
I don't really understand people that think it's absolutely useless. I'm designing a studio on a shoestring budget and I've used Gemini in almost all aspects of bringing it to life. Designing walls to meet certain specs, calculating AC loads, which companies to contact, just on and on. (The Nano banana image generator does fail every. single. time. in producing accurate schematics etc but I know that and work around it.) Without me asking, it'll ask if I've taken into account how much natural light there will be at a certain time of day, it will check if local businesses have the items I need in stock... things like that. Without this, I wouldn't have a studio. It is not always correct, but I am careful to check important things. Am I evil for not using humans for some of the deign work? Am I hearting the world up? Yes. Those topics are fair game. I AM however using lots of people to do the actual construction. And the space is designed to be part of a musical collective to bring musicians together and create and be with one another. My end goal is to be with real people. But I used a thinking machine to achieve the goal.
