The r/emacs is filled with anti-AI luddites, there's no reasoning or bargaining with them on the matter, you can't even say these two letters without someone immediately turning you into some kind of techno-fascist. I posted the link earlier, someone said "This is AI slop", another person started lecturing me about ethical and moral concerns, as if I'm a fucking AI-priest that walks around spreading joy about the use of AI and shoving AI propaganda down their throats. One person however made my day, writing a "thank you" email with questions and asking to share MCP scripts I used.

Indeed, I usually post there for the rest of the people, but it's a PITA indeed

I mean I get it - there are legit concerns, there are issues, nobody's arguing about that. There's the aspect of "elitization" - not everyone can afford to pay for good model use. But that's something we have seen before, and not once. With every new technology outbreak. Growing up, I got lucky I had access to computers, many of my childhood friends didn't (I was born in USSR), some of them probably still envy my trade, am I now supposed to feel bad about it?

Nowadays there are space for free ai, locally or GitHub

Exactly. My answer to any of my childhood friends who'd say: "you had what I didn't..." would be: "where there is a will, there is a way"

Thanks for sharing this. I've been increasingly pessimistic since the rise of LLMs and have gotten into a funk recently. I'm tempted to dust emacs off and get some of this tooling working. I've already got my vim keybindings set up :)
