Hi.
I'm ashamed to say that my English is not good enough for English conversation because I rely on DeepL. Listening is barely possible, but words don't come out quickly.😅
I'm a bored PC guy in a small company, so I don't have much experience, just a little OSS development a long time ago when there probably wasn't even github, and many years of internet.
I don't know if I'm sensible myself, but I'm confident that I'm an average, common person. I don't represent the average person, though.
I've been working to make it easier for folks in the healthcare sector (without coding experience) to use HF tools by either building base projects for them to use in clinic (see https://github.com/huggingface/chat-macOS
Oh. I like this kind of attempt. I don't think it is necessary to do everything with no code, but people don't know what they might be able to do with the technology until they try it first. Then they can't give feedback. Without feedback from end users, coders have trouble fixing bugs and coming up with appropriate new features. Too much of it is a problem, but too little means that you have to play the role of a user and test it yourself.
This was fine on the scale of free software that we ourselves created for actual use and were the primary users, and it worked in the olden days. This is partly because many of the target users were PC geeks as well as the developers. Recently, I like VSCode, although it is a little different from free software.
In the case of generative AI, I think its true value will be demonstrated if the target users are spread to non-geeks and non-coders, so I think it is important to first work on gathering people and lowering the threshold for feedback and further participation. I somehow think that is what multimodalart is doing on a daily basis, for example.
Also, lllyasviel is a major GUI maintainer, though not on the HF staff.
I'm not doing it with very noble aspirations at the moment, I'm basically just playing with what I want to play with, so the only thing I'm good at is talking.
