My journey with AI tools; is it my journey or am i just here for the ride?

I recently discovered OpenWebUI, an opensource tool that gives you a chatgpt like interface. As with most opensource tools, you can customize and extend it to your needs, there is quite a large community around it.

I started playing with various functions and tools people made like auto-memory storage of personal data, some integrations with news feeds, etc etc. But some werent working very nice... or at all.

It took me a while to actually muster the courage to try to fix them myself, Python is not my fav language. But with the help my latest magic tool, Cursor, an AI code editor, I thought i could do it.

The auto-memory function needed migration to the latest openwebui sdk, by sharing the migration guide with Cursor, I was able to get it working with some iterations. Cursor sometimes creates new bugs when it wants to clean up the code, but I was able to fix them manually.

So I realized I just fixed an AI tool, which is used by an AI to function better, with the help of another AI tool.

Could it have been done without me? maybe, Cursor couldnt fix it by itself .. this time, but often it can do a pretty good job at fixing small bugs. I guess in an AI assisted world, us developers become more like conductors or composers in an orchestra of AI tools, where sometimes our audiance is another AI that requires our help.

Am i worried about my job security? Not yet...but boy am I happy that I am not a bad carpenter/welder/plumber/etc. :sweat_smile:

Anyway, my contribution to the OpenWebUI community can be found on my github repo.
