AI / ChatGPT / Claude AI / LM Studio / AGI / Why shouldn’t AI be a problem ...
Last post by Theo Gottwald - October 29, 2025, 07:21:54 PMFrom my experience testing different AI systems, I've seen that AI is helpful within a limited scope and can generate code for well-defined tasks.
But once things get more complex, AI quickly reaches its limits. 🚧
It won't find every bug, nor can it do everything—it operates within set boundaries.
That's crucial to remember.
The idea that you can just tell AI what you want and get perfect results might work for simple web design, but not for real coding challenges. If you ask AI to build something complex, you'll get results—but also many errors and incomplete solutions. 🐞
Using AI doesn't eliminate the need for your own debugging. In fact, you'll often choose to write the key parts yourself. The doom-and-gloom about AI taking over programming has eased—at least for now. Human developers will still need to check and refine code for the foreseeable future. 🧑�💻
To all my fellow programmers:
Don't worry or think AI will replace you. Use it wisely, especially for routine, repetitive tasks.
Just like robots are great for repetitive physical jobs, programming AIs excel at repetitive coding tasks. 🤖 But, just as you learned to program from scratch, you'll now need to learn how to collaborate with AI and pick the right tool for each project stage. 🛠�
From my experience, you might start a project with Google Gemini in AI Studio. If the project grows, switch to a more advanced AI like Grok, GPT-5, or Quen 3. For tough bugs, Kimi K2 might help. With so many tools out there, programming has become a bit more complex, but much more productive! Identify which AI genuinely helps you—then leverage it. 🚀
The key benefit?
You can now build things beyond your old expertise.
AI can draft big concepts; you fix the mistakes—like working with a free, slightly clumsy assistant.
That's the realistic place for AI in development today.
The dream of flawless AI-generated code isn't here yet, except maybe for simple sites.
For big codebases, AI is a helpful assistant—nothing more, nothing less. 💡
Let me go a bit deeper into this! 🚀 Maybe you've always dreamed of creating a program like a linker, an assembler, or even a compiler. In the past, you might have hesitated, feeling unqualified or lacking the necessary knowledge. But now, with AI, you can tackle large projects, and AI will support you every step of the way! 🤖✨
It's important to know a programming language, since AI can introduce errors into complex projects. The secret is to break your big project into small, manageable pieces—AI can help with this, but you still need to be the leader and manage the process. 🗂�🛠� AI won't handle the overall architecture for you, but it can help you define and decompose tasks at every stage. 💡
The big advantage is that you can now dream bigger and pursue projects that used to seem impossible. While you'll still spend time debugging and organizing, AI makes those ambitions within reach! Don't fear that AI will make your work obsolete—instead, see it as your new superpower. 🦸�♂️💪 AI empowers you to achieve dreams you might have never dared to start before! 🚀🌟

AI / ChatGPT / Claude AI / LM Studio / AGI / What AI's do you prefer to use...
Last post by Theo Gottwald - October 29, 2025, 07:06:14 PMI am opening thiss discussion to hear your personal favourite AI for your Tasks.
Let me start: For coding i currently most often use: QWEN 3
Not only because its free, but it beats Google Gemini 2.5 and even Grok in difficult coding tasks.
For automated local Tasks i use:
These KI's run local and are strong enough for limited clearly defined coding tasks anyway.

or Magistral from Mistral AI.

OxygenBasic / Re: Long time no news
Last post by Theo Gottwald - October 29, 2025, 06:15:56 PMI checked that Forum its quite empty at this time.
The Richheimer Forum has more people but i can't enter.
So i will stay with you all here.
After all this Forum is the most beautiful, just from Design.
And it contains still the most Content.
@Charles Pegge I understand the Point Charles, the situation in germany is a comparable mess.
If you need hints or vitamins you can ask me i can give you adresses where you can order.
At least watch you take enough Magnesium and D3 during the winter.
