Today I finally clicked on that "Create theme with AI" on chrome's default page. I'm really having a hard time trying to differentiate it with selecting any random theme.

At this point I'm going to create an image generator that's just an api to return random images from pixabay. pix.ai (opensource of course)

So many AI applications right now are just buzzword plays like that, burning hundreds of watts and seconds of latency on features that are already solved better and cheaper with traditional programs.

But lots of both stakeholders and users currently value the "magic" itself over anything practical.

It's going to be like the tide of "we saved $XYZ by moving to the cloud" articles followed by the inevitable "we saved 10x $XYZ by moving back to on prem". We just aren't at that 2nd half of the cycle yet, but it's coming. All that LLM processing isn't free.
