I think you're reading into the tone too much, but I address this very argument at the end.
> No one wants to be that asshole who criticizes free and open source software operating in good faith like LangChain, but I’ll take the burden. To be clear, I have nothing against Harrison Chase or the other maintainers of LangChain (who encourage feedback!). However, LangChain’s popularity has warped the AI startup ecosystem around LangChain itself and the hope of OMG AGI I MADE SKYNET, which is why I am compelled to be honest with my misgivings about it.
"simpleaichat is a Python package for easily interfacing with chat apps like ChatGPT and GPT-4 with robust features and minimal code complexity. This tool has many features optimized for working with ChatGPT as fast and as cheap as possible, but still much more capable of modern AI tricks than most implementations"
Separately, in the article, typo expect->except here:
"LangChain uses about the same amount of code as just using the official openai library, expect LangChain incorporates more object classes for not much obvious code benefit."
Thanks for replying. I get your angle a bit better now, and as a sarcastic guy should have gotten it!
My main headfake in this actually revolutionary-incremental advance over the past 8 or so months… has been more similar to yours than I read at first. Nice post!
