    The capabilities of local LLM text-to-image is honestly pretty damn impressive. IMO, I think local image generation is currently ahead of local code generation. I can get an image in seconds locally with the quality being way higher than what I'd expect from a local model. However with coding it's much slower and much less impressive. I'm sure there's a reason for this and I'm not an AI expert so I'll let the smarter folks tell me why, but that's just been my observation thus far.

      I mean I’m sure it’s the reverse for an artist. They would be less impressed with the image and more impressed with the code quality

        To generalize, LLMs are great at what you are not skilled at.

          That's how they're sold, isn't it?

            Well, not exactly. Many, many companies and managers think that they can replace skilled people or have unskilled monitoring them.
