Show HN: I built an AI that turns GitHub codebases into easy tutorials

For anyone doubting AI as pure hype, this is the counter example of its usefulness

Nobody said AI isn’t useful.

The hype is that AI isn’t a tool but the developer.

I've seen a lot of developers that are absolute tools. But I've yet to see such a succinct use of AI. Kudos to the author.

Exactly, kudos to the author because AI didn’t came up with that.

But that’s what they sell, that AI could do what the author did with AI.

The question is, is it worth to put all that money and energy in AI. MS sacrificed its CO2 goals for email summaries and better autocomplete not to mention all the useless things we do with AI

Nobody?

Can you give an example of what you meant here? The author did use AI. What does "AI coming up with that" mean?

GP commenter complains that it’s not AI that came up with an idea and implemented it, but a human did.

In the few years we will see complaints that it’s not AI that built a power station and a datacenter, so it doesn’t count as well.

It’s about the AI hype.

The AI companies sell it like the AI could do it by itself and developers are obsolete but in reality it‘s a tool that still needs developers to make something useful

Some people already said it’s useless to learn to program because AI will do, that‘s the hype of AI not that AI isn’t useful as such like parent comment suggested.

They push AI into everything like it’s the ultimate solution but it is not instead is has serious limitations.

Doesn’t claim it isn’t useful just it’s not as useful as they thought.

For instance to me AI is useful because I don’t have to write boilerplate code but that’s rarely the case. For other things it still useful to write code but I am not faster because the time I save writing the code I need to fix the prompt, audit and fix the code.
