 redbeardymcgee | AI: I'm the idiot so you can feel smart correcting me, even though you're also wrong. | 13:49:21 |
| redbeardymcgee | when you sense AI, run away | 13:49:53 |
 toonn | Yep, I disagree about discouraging them, for example. IMO, please don't LLM anything. It's a waste of resources. | 13:49:58 |
 @x12:matrix.org | Wow, you really roasted me here.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write programs like this. I kind of understand how they’re supposed to work and what they should do, which is why I’m using AI.
The idea for the app came from the fact that a few days ago I installed NixOS myself, and, well… long story short, I had a hard time figuring out the config.
That’s where the idea came from — a quick app that can more or less show me what I can do with it and in what format.
It’s not a finished project for the public, more like a template with an idea — a little helper for getting into the world of NixOS for new users 🙂 | 13:57:37 |

| K900 | If you're looking for something that does a similar thing, but more correctly | 13:58:22 |
| K900 | There's also https://mynixos.com/ | 13:59:00 |
| @x12:matrix.org | That's exactly what I meant.
We can close the topic now 😆 | 14:00:08 |
| redbeardymcgee | Don't look to AI to solve problems for you. It will just make the problem worse. | 14:02:37 |
| redbeardymcgee | You have to be the expert who can fix every little mistake it makes, in order for AI to produce anything useful. By the time you work all those details out, you could have just written it better and faster yourself. | 14:03:28 |
| redbeardymcgee | AI pooping code out on your screen feels better than the feedback loop of reading & understanding documentation, but it's worse.
