<p>Just because a calculator will only ever be used by a subset of the population to type 80085 and giggle, doesn't mean it can't also be used for complex calculations.<p>AI is a tool that can accelerate learning, or severely inhibit it. I do think the tooling is going to continue to make it easier and easier to get good output without knowing what you're doing, though.</p>

<p>In the video, it was clearly children and other civilians. I can't find it at the moment.<p>Here's an article from Reuters about the civilian deaths. You can also pull up satellite images and see for yourself that the country is being levelled. That's not something you do if you're seeking specific individuals. There's just no excuse for killing civilians.<p><a href="https://www.reuters.com/video/watch/idRW842708112024RP1/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reuters.com/video/watch/idRW842708112024RP1/</a></p>

<p>You know, both sides can be bad. They're both led by bad people who do bad things and some good things. I've watched the Oct 10th attack videos. They're horrific. I've also watched the videos of civilian buildings in Palestine being have their roofs "knocked on" by a missile, followed shortly after by demolition by additional missiles.. And the Israeli solders dropping grenades on tents.. And the firsthand accounts of doctors talking of children and infants being shot through the head with sniper rounds.<p>Both country's governments are in the wrong and their civilians are suffering because of it.</p>

<p>That's kind of what learning to code is like, though. I assume you're using an llm because you don't know enough to do it entirely on your own. At least that's where I'm at and I've had similar experiences to you. I was trying to write a Rust program and I was able to get something in a working state, but wasn't confident it was secure.<p>I've found getting the llm to ingest high quality posts/books about the subject and use those to generate anki cards has helped a lot.<p>I've always struggled to learn from that sort of content on my own. That was leading me to miss some fundamental concepts.<p>I expect to restart my project several more times as I find out more of what I need to know to write good code.<p>Working with llms has made this so much easier. It surfaces ideas and concepts I had no idea about and makes it easy to convert them to an ingestible form for actual memorization. It makes cards with full syntax highlighting. It's delightful.</p>

<p>I'm using it to help me build what I want and learn how. It being incorrect and needing questioning isn't that bad, so long as you ARE questioning it. It has brought up so many concepts, parameters, etc that would be difficult to find and learn alone. Documentation can often be very difficult to parse. Llms make it easier.</p>

<p>Kagi has their own AI assistant that let's you choose any model from the major, and some not so major, providers. You can even hop between them I the same chat. It is also able to search for results using Kagi. This includes any lenses you could configure.<p>It's worked extremely well for me. Their higher subscription was less than ChatGPT + Kagi. I haven't used Gemini on its own interface yet to compare, though.</p>

<p>Mate. This guy is a software engineer and taking time out of his day to help a client on a forum and explaining why this might happen.. And is also taking the user input back to his employer to hopefully find a way to improve the user experience.<p>It's also not a scam. If you sign up for a trial that tells you you'll be charged at the end and don't bother to notify yourself.. That's 100% legal, 100% expected and 100% on you. You can argue that it's not a great customer experience.. But again, the engineer understands that.</p>
