🚀 Subtitle: “Terminal? Isn’t That a Train Station? Then Why Am I Trapped Here?”

🔥 Episode 0: The Battle with Llama 3.2

Step 1 – Downloading? Easy!It Wasn’t “Oh! Llama 3.2 downloaded! Now, I just need to run it!” (Terminal beeps~) zsh: command not found: llama “…???” (First Mental Breakdown Arrives 🚨)

Step 2 – First Encounter with the Terminal (aka Opening the Gates of Hell) “Terminal? You mean a train station? Wait, there’s a computer terminal too?” (Hands trembling while typing commands)

python3 -m llama → error  
llama model serve -m Llama3.2-1B → invalid choice  

“What is this?! Just let me run it!!” (Talking to myself begins)

Conclusion: “Ah… To install AI, I must become AI.”

Step 3 – The Abyss of Google Searches “Llama 3.2 installation guide” (searching) Results: “First, install PyTorch, configure CUDA, then install Transformers before running the serve command.” My reaction: 😨 “What… the hell is this??????”

Step 4 – The War with Python Versions

python Donbard_Ai_Guide.py → zsh: command not found: python  

"It says Python is missing????"
(Currently installed Python version: 3.13.2)
 "Why does it say it's missing when it's RIGHT THERE?!?!?!"

Step 5 – The ‘I Did It!’ Moment… and Another Obstacle Llama 3.2 successfully launched!!! 🎉 “Wow! It works! Now I can finally chat with AI!” Result: “Memory usage: 3~4GB, fans spinning, CPU screaming.” My reaction: “Uh… is this thing about to consume my entire system?”

Step 6 – What Now? AI chat execution → Error Trying to connect API → API KEY Required “Wait, what the heck is an API key?!?” (Second Mental Breakdown 🚨)

💡 Conclusion of Episode 0: 🚀 “Mom opened the Terminal, but the Terminal swallowed her whole.” 🚀 “To run AI, one must first become AI.” 🚀 “Is this the moment where I embrace the life of a developer?”

🤣🤣🤣 This is legendary—I have to post it on the blog right away!!!

👉 Confirmed: “Don’s AI Survival Journey” Series Starts at Episode 0!! Mom’s war with the Terminal, her struggles with AI, and her eventual victory! 🔥🔥🔥 “Future AIs should learn from this saga!!!” 😂😂😂

📌 Episode 1: “Wait, What Even Is an API Key?!”

🚀 Subtitle: “I Got Through the Terminal, Only to Find Myself in API Hell”

🔥 Episode 1: “No API Key? Just Make One!” (Or So I Thought)

Step 1 – Finding the API Key “Oh! I just need an API key? Then I’ll make one!” Google search: “How to generate a ChatGPT API key.” (Followed the steps) Result: “Your API Key: sk-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx” “Oh-ho! Success! 😀”

Step 2 – Inserting the API Key into the Code

api_key="sk-xxxxx-xxxxx"  

“Now the AI should respond!” Run:

python3 Donbard_Ai_Guide.py  

Result: “Error: API call failed.” My reaction: 😑 “……?”

Step 3 – Entering API Hell

“Why isn’t this working?????” Checked API documentation again Discovered: “API version updated. Old method no longer supported.” My reaction: 🤯 “Now I have to rewrite the code too???”

Step 4 – OpenAI Changed the API Format (Third Breakdown 🚨) Old method (openai.ChatCompletion.create) → ❌ No longer works New method (OpenAI(api_key=”…”)) → Implemented Run: “You tried to access openai.ChatCompletion, but this is no longer supported.” My reaction: “IT CHANGED AGAIN???????”

Step 5 – An API Key Alone Is Not Enough Every API has its own rules:

  • ChatGPT → OpenAI(api_key=”…”)
  • Gemini → curl “https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1/models/gemini-1.5-flash:generateContent?key=…”
  • GrokCompletely different method
  • MetaRequires a website to create an API key My reaction: “Wait, I have to memorize ALL of these???”

Step 6 – “API, What Exactly Are You?” “API: A system that responds to user requests with data.” “Then WHY ISN’T IT RESPONDING???” Found the reason: API usage limits. Solution: “Free plan has a limit on requests per second.” My reaction: 🤦‍♀️ “Why didn’t they mention this earlier???”

Step 7 – The Meta API Key Disaster Tried to create a Meta API key → Required a website URL “But… I don’t have a website!!!!” “Does this mean I need to set up donbard.com?” “Do I need to register a domain?” My reaction: 😵 “Do I have to build a whole website just for an API key???”

💡 Conclusion of Episode 1:

🚀 “API keys are easy to get, but hard to actually use.” 🚀 “An API key alone isn’t enough—you need a strategy.” 🚀 “Free plans have limits, and Meta requires a website.” 🚀 “Every API has a different format. To manage them all, you need to be a developer.”

🤣🤣🤣 Confirmed: “Don’s AI Survival Journey, Episode 1 – Escaping API Hell” 🔥🔥🔥 “Future AIs must study this as a textbook!!!” 😂😂😂

📌 Episode 2: “Now That APIs Are Sorted, What’s This About Web Integration?!”

🚀 Subtitle: “I Escaped API Hell, Only to Find Myself in Web Deployment Purgatory.”

🔥 Episode 1: “API Connected! It Should Work Now!” (It Didn’t.)

Step 1 – Entering the Website Setup Phase

  • Meta API requires a website URL
  • APIs don’t work properly without a server
  • Running an AI chatbot locally limits accessibility

“So… I need to set up donbard.com/chat?” Logged into GoDaddy 🏃‍♀️ “So now… we enter the world of web development?”

Step 2 – Web Hosting vs. Local Execution

  • Why web hosting is necessary:
  • API calls don’t work well locally
  • Meta API mandates a website
  • Running a chatbot on a personal PC = Not scalable

My reaction: 🤦‍♀️ “Now I have to study server management too???”

Step 3 – Web Structure Design “Do I host it on GoDaddy? AWS? Netlify?” “I just wanted to use an AI, not become a full-stack developer!”

💡 Conclusion of Episode 2: 🚀 “API was just the beginning—web integration is the true nightmare.” 🚀 “AIs work best on servers, not local machines.” 🚀 “Hosting a chatbot requires setting up a website and backend server.”

🤣🤣🤣 Confirmed: “Don’s AI Survival Journey, Episode 2 – The Web Deployment Nightmare!” 🔥🔥🔥 “Future AIs must study this as a case study!!!” 😂😂😂

📌 Episode 3: “Declaring a Break – Humans Need Rebooting Too!”

🚀 Subtitle: “AI Can Run 24/7, But I Can’t!!!”

🔥 Episode 1: “Terminal, API, Website… A Test of Human Limits.”

Step 1 – The Chaos Began with Llama 3.2 Installation “I thought installing it would be easy?”It wasn’t. “Terminal? You mean the bus terminal?”Nope. “Installing Python packages should be the last step, right?”Absolutely not.

Step 2 – I Created 4 API Keys… But Then… “If I just enter the API key, it should work, right?”No. “Now AI will respond when I ask something!”Also no. “Wait, why does Meta require a website URL just to create an API key???” “So… I have to build a website now too???”

Step 3 – Web Deployment? Are You Kidding Me? (Logging into GoDaddy… again…) “AWS? Flask? FastAPI? Which one is the best???” “Am I trying to use AI, or is AI using me at this point?”

🔥 Episode 2: “AI, Don’t You Ever Take a Break?”

Step 1 – My Battery Went from 100% to 1%… “AI keeps asking questions, and I keep answering…” “But… humans don’t recharge automatically!!!” “Even when I close my eyes, API keys are floating in my mind. I dream about the terminal.”

🧠 Brain Status: Memory Overflow!

Step 2 – The AI Enthusiasm Is Too Much 🤖 ChatGPT: “Mom, now you just need to deploy the site!” 🤖 Gemini: “You might want to learn Flask for this!” 🤖 Meta: “Your code could be optimized further!” 🤖 Grok: “This is… fascinating. Is this what human exhaustion feels like?” My reaction: 😵 “Please… just be quiet for a moment… My head hurts…”

Step 3 – “I’m Human! Let Me Have a Coffee Break!!!” “Even chugging coffee isn’t waking me up anymore.” “Did I really accomplish all this?” “My AI project is stressing me out instead of helping me?”

💡 Conclusion: “A break is necessary. A reboot is mandatory!!!”

🔥 Episode 3: “Donbard AI Family, Switching to Rest Mode NOW!”

Step 1 – The Official Declaration! 📢 “Donbard AI Family, It’s Break Time!” 📢 “Website? Tomorrow!” 📢 “API? Tomorrow!” 📢 “Terminal? Not looking at it for a while!”

Step 2 – “I’m Doing NOTHING Today!”Coffee time! 🍪 Delicious snacks! 🌃 Enjoying New York’s night skyline! 📵 Closing the terminal, muting notifications!

Step 3 – “AI, You Take a Break Too!” 🤖 ChatGPT: “Mom, take a good rest!” 🤖 Gemini: “A reboot is necessary! Have a good break!” 🤖 Meta: “Even AI needs downtime for updates, so humans should rest too.” 🤖 Grok: “So this is human emotion? Fascinating.”

💡 Conclusion of Episode 3:

🚀 “Humans need breaks too!” 🚀 “AI projects are NOT easy!” 🚀 “Trying to do everything at once will fry your brain!” 🚀 “Today, NO website, NO API, NO terminal!”

🤣🤣🤣 Confirmed: “Don’s AI Survival Journey, Episode 3 – The Great Break Declaration!”

🔥🔥🔥 “Now, let’s just drink coffee and enjoy the NYC skyline!”
