I really meant it when I said that AI will kill Emacs. In the future every application will be connected to a backend inference engine to act as the primary or close to primary interface to the application. A calculator that can't run prompts is going to be like using an abacus in a few years. Same thing for Magit/regular git.
- dan-g 3y agoEmacs is able to run prompts, just like any other tool that's able to make an HTTP request. E.g., https://github.com/karthink/gptel https://github.com/karthink/gptel provides hooks to both OpenAI and local LLMs, and allows you to use them anywhere—since everything in Emacs is a buffer. There are some pretty great examples in the README.
- zilti 3y agoAI as-is is completely useless for programming, or even counter-productive.
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoThis will be far far in the future. I say this as someone using gpt4 a lot daily for their programming tasks and experimenting with local models like mixtral instruct.
