Think about it though. When people say they want to “code AI” what they typically mean is they want to play with prompts and waste electricity on garbage models, not actually write any of the underlying models that power AI.
It really is big. From baby’s first prompting on big corpo model learning how tokens work, to setting up your own environment to run models locally (Because hey, not everyone knows how to use git), to soft prompting, to training your own weights.
Nobody is realistically writing fundamental models unless they work with Google or whatever though.
I’ve even heard people try and call slightly complex bots “AI” and claim they can code them (or their friend totally can lol). It’s infuriating and hilarious at the same time.
Well yes, but also people can use TenserFlow and other AI tools without learning how to properly code. And they can also get the results they want. So be afraid of the question “do you really need to know how to code” anymore.

There’s a huge gap between “playing with prompts” and “writing the underlying models” and they entire gap is all coding.

w++ is a programming language now 🤡
