dotJS 2024 - Malte Ubl - Generative UI: Bring your React Components to AI today!

[Music] so yeah once again my name is Malta I'm the CTO of forel and today I really really realized how much of a bubble I live in so I live in Silicon Valley now I'm originally from Germany but it's been 12 years and if I go to conference in Silicon Valley right now there wouldn't have been like eight talks for the first one about AI to happen

um so it's very interesting I also love this morning was very much reminiscent of all times I love that we're back to having conferences or J talk about CGI in the 9 days and I was like that's what I did I used the FTP to prod um I Heard minko talk about whiz which I actually created at Google uh a very long time ago 12 14 years something like that um and it's amazing to see that kind of have in another life all right but today

I want to talk about Ai and how it's going to change software both for developers and end users as an end user you're probably like on chat gbt you're seeing all these things happening as a developer maybe you're using co-pilot maybe you are going to chat gbt to learn rust or to learn bash what it's what what I'm doing it's definitely happening right there is something going on in the world and the way we kind of started thinking about this is this transition from software 1.0 to 2 2.0 we used to do

machine learning and now we're doing AI because machine learning was like this University PHD thing we were doing python but you know now we're building application we're doing that in typescript it used to be back and first because it was all about making it work but now it's about it's front and first because it's about the applications and because you actually had to build the science you had to make do it yourself where you do machine learning Ops it was difficult right now what you can do is you call a model as a service just an

API call everyone can do it models were small now they're very large they're very smart you can handle them very very easily you didn't even have a model you had to thought think about training first now models are getting so good that it's not even clear that fine-tuning is going to be thing it might be right like we're literally figuring that out but you can get very far but just prompting the thing we used to ship research papers now we're shiing shipping products right we used to ship over years and certain things can now be

done in days and there were like few of us and now everyone can be an AI developer which is very exciting and all of this is embedded in this like change of velocity of AI development and we're kind of still in the early days we're what I would call the gbd4 era um and obviously stuff is going to happen in the future and I think the good bet to make is that the AI is going to be smarter but that's good for us because we can we can exploit that and I'm going going to talk about how that works and

what's also really interesting is that sure this kind of Started With Open AI but now uh we have Google's Gemini we have claw which is amazing um got a name drop mrr incredible company here from France and and and wider Europe very impressive what they doing so there's like this diversity of tools that is getting really really good and we can take advantage of it and but we do need to acknowledge that if there is disrupt

we need to find like a place for ourselves like the world's changing and like what is what is what does it mean for us right what do we what is it what's our place in this world and and and what I want to do in this talk is I want to I want this to come across as a positive message because I have an answer for this question and I hope you agree with it or at least it helps you proceed on your path so let's Baseline of
