| Sharing this as a non-technical user: Yesterday I saw a video of someone using 'lovable' platform to prompt it into providing an app. For a no-coder like me, this was crazy stuff. The latest 'Deepseek' progress hints that things will get more cheaper. We live in the best time to build as the costs further decrease. For an end user like me who doesn't understand the model evaluation methods you said - I do observe that my life is improving because it is getting easier to automate manual work. With AI agents, I think it will only get even easier. This 'easy' feeling is getting better with every update. For example, earlier I used to write AI tool descriptions for my AI tools directory (https://appliedai.tools) using Perplexity. I had to edit a lot of stuff as it messed up with facts. Now I hardly make any changes. It can scout user reviews, YouTube reviews, etc on its own and write very accurate descriptions. I only shorten sentences - that too using WordPress AI. As an end user, if my output is good enough, I do not care much about how good the upcoming models are. I care about costs though. Maybe now, people should focus more on 'cost' reduction and environment impact when it comes to looking for 'improvement'. |
