Hi, I’ve been using bricks for some years at this point and 2.1 makes it even more of my go-to tool for websites. I have the Ultimate Lifetime package and I hope you guys continue on the road you’re on, making the tool more actually useful with every iteration.
I’m very grateful for you not using gen AI in this product. I’m mainly posting this because feedback shouldn’t only be provided when you’re upset (you should could congratulate folks on their successes as well). I love creating things from websites to music to drawings to websites to entire video games and I’m extremely sick of the proliferation of this tech and the damage it’s caused. And while using Bricks today I thought about how you guys have never shoved AI down my throat- it’s not even on your roadmap and I’m so glad to see that.
All the tools I’ve used with AI (because yes, I’ve given them a try of course) are really useless anyways and every single time I use them and they do nothing useful I’m just reminded how this tech is only used these days to basically fool people. And the times it’s not used to fool people it’s used to cut costs by not hiring creatives, or to offload thinking and tasks. And it’s frustrating when programs use AI just because everyone else is using it, and spend all this time developing the most nothing feature that’s only ever used by people who won’t do anything with their product. Affine, Spotify DJ, Gemini/Copilot-- always useless.
Of course AI as a general thing is something I don’t hate and if you implement AI that’s actually useful tech beyond the flashy nonsnse then cool 
Things like FL Studio’s ability to master with AI, Immich’s machine learning search, stuff like that-- that’s neat.
But overall, I just want to be very vocal about how happy I am that you are not using AI, so when the AI bros come knocking with their lame excuses like the comparison to a camera vs painting, the “either get onboard or get left behind” crap, or “it’s just busywork” arguments… you at least know someone is very happy (many folks, for sure) that you’re spending your time making actual features like components and API queries and actually make creators lives easier.
Thanks <3
