Whats so bad about Apache, MIT or Unlicense (which is essentially public domain) ?
If a company wants to monetize it, let them monetize it, if it fails, it still continues to be open source and can be used and developed by others. If they re-license it to something proprietary, fork it.
First, read my text fully before replying.
But additionally I have a brain and can use it to double check:
In example 1. I just build it blindly because it's a game and it doesn't matter if it's wrong. But it ended up being correct and I ended up having more fun instead of doing excel for an hour.
In 2. the math result was not far off from my guesstimate and I confirmed later, it was correct.
In 3. it gave me a source and I read the source. Google did not lead me to that source.
When I let LLM write code, I read the code, then I test the code. Here is where I get the most faults. Not in spreadsheets or math or research.
LLMs are great. You can tell them a problem with words and they figure out what you mean and solve it. You can not ignore the value of it for normal people.
Some recent examples for me:
I was playing a factory building game and didn't want to do a spreadsheet by hand for figuring out the optimal amount of which building I have to place to get a wanted output. I told the LLM, copy pasted the wiki for each building. It did some differential equasions and gave me a result and a spreadsheet all in under a minute.
I had to do some math, without knowing the underlying concepts. Describing the situation and problem and giving it all known values was much easier than reading 5 wikipedia articles, figuring out how to break it down, which formulas to use for each step and how to chain them all.
I recently googled for half an hour, crawling through shit articles, reading 50page PDFs, none of which contained the detail I wanted, before giving up asking an AI and clicking on the source it quoted to get my reply. Maybe my search terms sucked, maybe I can't ask the right question, because I don't know what I don't know, but the LLM was able to get it.
Are the problems I described already "solved" more computationally efficiently by other means? Absolutely yes!
Will it be faster and easier for me to throw it at an LLM? Also yes!
Thats not really their conclusion. Thats the Rosetta Code ranking. Table 4 is the one that has summarized results of many tests and includes a lot more languages.
If your target audience says too lazy didn't read - I think the bit that applies like a rule of thumb to most cases is more relevant and has a higher practical knowledge value than the intricate details or an "it depends".
(Similar how you can just explain gravity with newton instead of einstein, to make it short, even though it is less precise or technically false)

Sometimes it's free to make you lock into their ecosystem.
Once you have an account with them, there is less of a barrier to solve a problem you have by purchasing their service, especially when you feel like you got a lot of value for free from that company.
Use pastebin to share them
Since I started using xPipe, everything looks like a nail.
Not sure if it is part of the free tier, but you can use xPipe to ssh directly into a docker container, on a remote server or on the local machine.
