These threads seem to have become exceedingly vibes-based.
Yes, something may now be cheaper or more expensive or whatever, but there is no way to objectively measure quality (except for "trust me bro" benchmarks). So the discourse is people saying that for them, this or that model was better - which is a very low value data point.

- bigbluedots 2mo agoYes, programming language discussions can be vibes-based and therefore low value too, but sometimes the more concrete aspects of the languages at hand, e.g. language features and tradeoffs are discussed. That is something that I'm not seeing in equivalent AI discussions.. there is a lot of how a particular AI model "feels" to interact with.
- pessimizer 2mo agoIt's got to be because AI has become a commodity, people are looking to get the best value for money, and things change based on your specific application (which may be nearly unique) and literally the time of day. It's a bunch of bread bakers talking about wheat suppliers.
