alt Hacker NewsI think one of the major problems with the current incarnation of AI solutions is that they're extremely brittle and hacked-together. It's a fun exciting time, especially for us technical people, but normies just want stuff to "work."
Even copy-pasting an API key is probably too much of a hurdle for regular folks, let alone running a local ollama server in a Docker container.

Where in the world are you getting that this project is for "normies"? Installation steps are terminal instructions and it's a CLI, clearly meant for technical people already.
If you think copying-pasting an API key is too much, don't you think cloning a git repository, installing the Rust compiler and compiling the project might be too much and hit those normies in the face sooner than the API key?
Unlike in image/video gen, at least with LLMs the "best" solution available isn’t a graph/node-based interface with an ecosystem of hundreds of hacky undocumented custom nodes that break every few days and way too complex workflows made up of a spaghetti of two dozen nodes with numerous parameters each, half of which have no discernible effect on output quality and tweaking the rest is entirely trial and error.
