    "don't use AI as long as possible"
    nailed it. use AI as a tool for solving specific sub-problems when needed. not for the entire problem

      only for now. but not in the near future. it will solve entire problems by itself. like for example if an artist and a team of artists work together to create a photorealistic 3D image based on planning, would at some point be considered an entire problem. but now top models can get photorealistic outputs in seconds, where the picture is indistinguishable from an actual photograph. so it replaces the hours of work and problem of an artist or an entire group of artists, and finishes it faster than them

      ​​@@businessmanager7670 No, that's just your 2 cents prediction, which is probably only applicable to very simple use cases, the first problem being how do you input what you really want (that part is ironically commonly called "code") and then the result also have to match that, which is far from actually being accurate, also needs to be coherent with the full picture which is another challenge
      Same for your artistic example which may not suit the standards the team is aiming for, producing an output doesn't mean producing an output you like, unless you're speaking about simple use cases and aren't picky at all.

    • @businessmanager7670
      @businessmanager7670 Před 6 měsíci +4

      @@heroe1486 not it can be applicable in complex cases too depending on how much better the ai systems get in intelligence. we have only Seen improvement and increase in intelligence and not the other way around.
      so my prediction is based on Evidence.
      and for the 2nd point you made, sure when subjectivity is involved then it is not necessarily the case that one will like the output produced by the ai although it may accomplish the tasks that you intended,
      but that's in the same exact way that another human who is smart can make something for me and although his product accomplishes my task, i may not necessarily like it or the way it works.

    As an AI engineer with an experience of running businesses I feel the need to comment. I think saying " you should differentiate by building a more complex solution" is not necessarily a good advice. Many times you will find people that sell very naive and simple software and printing money because they have really good distribution. You can also find an amazing piece of software without clients because of very poor distribution and go-to-market strategy. I think the best scenario is when you have differentiation in your software AND good distribution. Which is what you're doing by creating content on your youtube channel about your AI solution ;)

      I've heard this wording so much, but they didn't kill anything. Those startups were not sound from the very start. Basing your product on the single API of another company to do most of the work with no exit plan is incredibly risky for a business.

    In my experience, 90% of what customers are asking for is “put a chatbot on my website”. They’d rather drop a few cents per interaction and throw the problem at OpenAI APIs, than pay a dev to setup and maintain a chain, do fine tuning, train a model etc. If it ever scales up, then the value add would be optimization. But in the case of building a product business around AI, I totally agree with you.

    • @MattVibes
      @MattVibes Před 4 měsíci +3

      Well that’s a good example of a model which is not worth training yourself: chat. It’s fast enough, probably cost enough due to the speed at which a user can ask questions and definitely worth it (it’s cost effective vs paying an agent)

  • @MagusArtStudios
    @MagusArtStudios Před 6 měsíci +23

    I built my AI API on top of vector Databases with zero-shot classfication to determine which AI model to use for the specific task.. You can pass label variables such as ["Greetings","Coding task","Search query"] . This can reduce the cost of running your AI chatbot service. Plus if you design a smaller local model that knows when it doesn't know the answer you can outsource to a different model with zero-shot classification.

    Would you be able to expand a bit on what your LLM do btw? I'm still not sure what happens between the "initial code" and the "customized code", I haven't tried Mitosis, but I'm assuming it generates good enough code? 🤔

  • @Canna_Science_and_Technology
    @Canna_Science_and_Technology Před 6 měsíci +7

    FYI there is a failure of direct retrieval with GPT-4 using the new OpenAI Assistant API. GPT tokenizes text and creates its own vector embeddings based on its specific training data. The new terms and sequences may not connect well to the pretrained knowledge in GPT's weight tensors.
    There was no semantic similarity between the new API terms and GPT's existing vector space. This is a fundamental issue with retrieval augmentation systems like Rag - external knowledge is not truly integrated into the model's learned weights. Adding more vector stores cannot solve this core problem.

    • @AkaThePistachio
      @AkaThePistachio Před 6 měsíci

      very good point. hadn't really thought of indexing like that before. Its kind of like a memory cache that stores extra info on top of the LLM, but its not permanent and needs to be added to any request sent to the model

  • @titusfx
    @titusfx Před 6 měsíci +5

    I do the same approach. Your tool has some good auto responsive, but others are really bad. I would suggest that instead of trying responsive directly, try to generate first a wireframe from the component and try to do the responsive there and convert back. The wireframes are easier to do responsive, and there are a lot of examples out there. Also, converting to wireframe I think it is an easy task. You can find opensource plugins for auto wireframe or plugins for skeleton and start from there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

  • @electra_
    @electra_ Před 6 měsíci +2

    I could also see a benefit to creating a "toolchain" with only certain parts using AI as the ability to override that AI if it makes a mistake. I think one of the biggest flaws of AI is that while it can produce incredible results, it is never "guraranteed" to work in the same way that a lot of normal algorithms can be guaranteed to work through rigorous logic. This is why AI is best suited for subjective applications where you really need to understand user's intent in a way not possible with normal code. By using AI only in specific points, it opens the way for a user to more easily tweak the results to their liking.
    For example, in the website builder product, if a full stack AI produced a website which combined images in an awkward way the user didn't intend, the only recourse would be to either go in and fully edit the code to fix the issue, or to edit the FIGMA model and hope the AI interpreted it better the next time. But with the AI being localized to the specific selection of images, it would probably be possible to have a manual "merge elements into image" function which would specifically override the AI's decision about which elements combine to form an image, and then plug this result into the rest of the model which can create this image in the resulting code.
    I've been saying for a while that while AI is really useful as a tool, it is not always the most accurate and any AI product needs to consider what AI is good at, what it might get wrong, and how best to implement it in a way that allows the user to check/fix the result of the AI if needed.

So yes, I guess this video just gave me more confidence in my own approach. I'll absolutely try to build what I can from scratch before going to the API call. All the potential pitfalls you highlighted such as performance and cost are absolutely essential to consider for my case, since I am building for a 3rd world market and a real-time use case.

      I'n my own use case, I really really really miss the times when a search engine would JUST search for the words I type... things started to go astray when the default combiner became OR, not AND and by the time they've added all these "clever" algorithms to substitute my words for more "popular" choices and give me content that some pattern-matching engine has determined is related to my words... search engines have became worse than useless.

      ​​@@edgeeffect That's without even mentioning all the crap that comes in the first page which is basically the equivalent of those boring medium articles in programming but also for every other subject

    very smart solution how you used the html to locate their position and overlay it with the screenshot. Your approach of not relying on AI is something I highly share. I am developing a SaaS of which the current codebase is 100% code but I know AI can improve it massively trough Image classification. I am really curious how to implement the AI once you train it. Is this done trough an API route ?
