You can build a useful ai product to give the power of ai to your users

You can build with ai to give the power to you and produce a regular (at best) product.

You can build a custom ai code assistant maker so that coders can use ai to produce ai products.

It's too much incest, I hate it, hope you guys eat your own tail

Pointing a problem out is one thing but wishing them ill is another. (Unless I misunderstood the comment.)

This looks like a genuinely refreshing and open source path to helping developers control their own ai stack. I don’t see the harm.

If we are to complain about tools that help make tools that help make products, then we should start decrying compilers and interpreters, for they too are tools that help make tools that help build products.
