"Maybe you've been thinking 'someone should make a tool that does X,' says Doug Belshaw. "Maybe that person is you?" At a certain point I may stop running these instances of "I built x tool using AI" but I'll keep posting so long as it remains fun. And it is fun, because it feels like that explosion of cool we saw when the web first reached a large audience in the mid to late 1990s. What we could do then never really went away, not even after the dot com crash of 2003, because the basic tools were in everyone's hands. That's also true today; AI is just math and data, and there's enough of both out there that what we're doing today won't disappear. The real issue isn't "AI yes or no". It's how we can prevent commercial interests from degrading it the way they degraded the web.
