I’ll reiterate that I’m not team AI, but I’ll always give it credit where credit is due, since when things find a use, that’s great.
It’s not uncommon for people to request something very specific they want to do with Owncast, and I’ll always say that’s something you can do yourself with CSS and JavaScript.
Often the response is “I’m not a coder I can’t do that”. But a few times now the response has been “I asked ChatGPT and pasted it in and it worked”.
These people clearly have no interest in learning how any of these things work, and would normally be completely dismissive because they’re “not a coder” (like it’s something you’re born with). But now they can accomplish what they want and move on with their lives. Still not knowing anything about how it works, but they wouldn’t have anyway.
I don’t think it’s fun or productive long term to not learn things along the way of life, but hey, to each their own. They get more out of Owncast and I guess that’s something.
