retard here
what is unironically the usecase for AI APIs? like what could developers actually develop that would be simpler for the end user than the base chat interface of ChatGPT and Claude?

normies like GUI interfaces, they can't use command line so why do you think they can "prompt"? they can "chat" with a bot but can't command it to do things technically

>>108963888
are they that retarded? like the stock interface is basically a texting interface (whatsapp, facebook messenger..etc) they should be very comfortable with it.
but if a dev would just build a gui with buttons programmed with preset prompts, then they might as well just ship a normal non-AI traditional software/app

Ask it to look up a bunch of information from various sources, with very unstable API for requests and just as unstable JSON schema in responses. Changes all the time for no fucking reason, imagine such a use case. Imagine there's many such cases.
Then you use something like langchain to double-triple check the resulting JSON validity against your own unified JSON schema.
"Hey dear Shatbot sir convert dis blobs to JSON according to schema" "hey another shatbot sir, check if this JSON is aligned with this JSON schema here".
That's how you can use the powah of natural language processing to deal with retards in CS who got a job for some reason and ruin nice things. With LLMs you can basically ignore their faggotry. Happy.

You want a script that you double clcick and it gives you a text file with aggregated data. Perhaps news on a very specific niche subj, but from like 20 different sources. They're all different websites, they don't have any unified interface. And their interfaces change from time to time. So instead of maintaining your script and keeping it up to date, you make AI figure out what is the current interface (usually REST API, graphql etc). Then you ask it to use those interfaces (20 requests, each to different website, with different API). Then you ask it to unify all the responses, since they are also all in different fromats. Then you use that data for something. In our oversimplified example, you would paste it all as regular human readable text. And maybe also summarize it all as well.

You can vibe code things like this and it will actually work. And it was not possible not long ago, even without vibe coding part. Becuase natural language processing was not there. Not it's solid enough for this simple stuff.

Btw, the moment this became possible

scam altman's employees scammed it plenty. Told him it's a revolution and everything. AI self improving confirmed LMAO.
Well, they just improved the web scraping pipeline really. I wonder how much premiums they got for doing this kindergarden stuff.

Unless you have your own beefy hardware , APIs are basically required if you want to use shit like clot code or other comparable "agent harnesses" because using those allows the AI to actually DO shit or take action beyond just generating code and reading files. This is particularly useful if you're right no-coder like me who wants to create his own things or unfuck pre-existing abandone-ware. The API back ends also tend to be a lot less nerfed in capabilities and noticeably less nanny like guardrails compared to the web app/mobile frontends like 90% of people use.

>are they that retarded?
Yes. Link rel is a shining example of it old coping and pretending she's not a fucking nutcase on top of being an emotionally stunted tech illiterate fool:

A good chunk of the shit they want they could cobble together themselves if they would just figure out how to use frontends that can connect to apis but they're too good for that shit apparently
