Let's ditch Closed AI and use Open Source AI tools

Proposal status is Review Pending
Session Description

In this talk, we’ll compare popular closed AI tools (think ChatGPT, MidJourney, etc.) with a free, open-source alternative that does the same job sometimes even better.

I’ll show you how closed AI tools keep you trapped: they’re expensive, opaque about how they work, and often lock you into their ecosystem. Then, we’ll flip the script. I’ll demo open-source tools (like jan.ai, flux, continuedev) that lets you do the same tasks—whether it’s writing, coding, or generating images—without the hidden costs or mystery.
