Ahh yes. AI is polling worse than ICE. Doesn't mean much since ICE would be polling quite well with much of the country. Typical low-quality journalism.

Nah bruh. Those are some terrible rules. You don't want to be doing that.

Ironic article considering this website's 3D parallax effect with music and animation was all made with AI. /s

It depends on whether your API provider is HIPAA compliant and what sort of disclosures are provided. If you're running inference in house then it's not an issue provided you're following all the other guidelines.

With FormKit you'd still be using a predefined deterministic flow where all the conditionals are accounted for in advance. FormKit wouldn't be able to generate a truly non-deterministic UI that changes based upon how the user answers. If you're wanting to sue your neighbor for their tree falling onto your house, an AI powered UI for a law firm could be giving you form fields on what type of tree it was, how old the tree was, hot tall the tree was, how close it was to the property line, and what room in your house the tree landed in... All generated from how the user responded to an initial "what's your grievance?" question.

I'm not advocating for or against this type of approach - I'm just pointing out a few potential use-cases for it since that's what you asked for.

It's like beating a dead horse. React is the literal worst of all the modern JavaScript frameworks and yet that's what everybody insists on using. Vue is light years ahead of it (and will be even further ahead when the new Vapor mode is released in 3.6). Svelte is ahead. Solid is ahead. Heck, even Marko is ahead.

Google has a similar project called A2UI:

In the real-world, to me it makes the most sense for client and patient onboarding.

I could see this being useful for client and patient onboarding in the services and medial sectors respectively. For example:

A potential client providing information for a law-firm regarding their grievance.

A patient filling out the medical questionnaire prior to their first visit to a medical practice.

Rather than having a fully deterministic form, you'd be providing them with forms that adapt to their specific issue. The data can then be intelligently stored both as JSON and a more generic record in an RDBMS.

That's just my initial thoughts.

Europeans really need to get their heads out of their butts. Their solution to every problem is nanny state regulation.

With respect, the author sounds too fickle for me to ascribe value to their "first impressions" of a distro.

The moment I read something in which the author is accusing someone of "spreading misinformation," I'm naturally inclined to take the accuser less seriously. Reckless use of that term is the real pattern of behavior.

So FOSS is bad and commercial software is bad? What's left - going outside and touching some grass?
