AI tooling is starting to feel like PC modding culture

I think local AI setups are about to split into two completely different communities. One side cares about actual production workflows: agents automation APIs inference efficiency data quality reproducibility The other side mostly treats it like PC modding: model collecting benchmark screenshots “look how many params I run” endless UI tweaking generating the same test prompts forever Not even judging either side honestly. I just think it explains why AI discussions online feel so weird lately. Two people can both be “into local AI” and barely even be talking about the same thing anymore.
