Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?
bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 16 hours agoEh, the issue with using AI with something like a self-hosted setup is that it lacks nuance and is most likely sourced from all the stack overflow answers without including, again, any context that might be involved.
This leads to situations where it “works,” but potentially in a way with glaring issues that you would otherwise get from this community.
That said, I understand that “advanced” users here can be uptight about things that they believe to be a foregone conclusion, which is where the whole “learning” aspect is what we all need: both learning to self-host “better” and learning to help others.

A lot of things I’ve done may well be very poor practice. But at least I’ve got this thing off the ground and am learning from there. If I couldn’t make a start then I wouldn’t go down this rabbit hole at all in the first place. Without trying, implementing, breaking and making mistakes…it’s not like I would have browsed Stack Overflow for months. I have no programming or PC qualifications. Self teaching ain’t easy. AI did a lot more heavy lifting initially. Now it mostly double checks my YAML draft and makes sense of error logs so I can be pointed in the right direct to know where to even start reading.

Fair enough! My own experience has so far been less helpful, due to it hallucinating config based on what I’m asking and if my use case is possible, which made me turn more to perusing docs and source code 🙃
