@thejessiekirk @Em0nM4stodon @eniko There are of course others, but for me, personally, they:
I could go on for a long time with this, but the thing with LLMs is that they are a tool, built for certain specialised purposes. If people approach them as a tool, and not as the oversold market hype machine they have been painted as, they are an incredible tool with potential to be helpful in many ways, ways as unique as the user themselves. They have the potential to make life less awful, less stressful, less cold and alone, for many, many, people. They make mistakes. Yep. But I don't use my shoe as a calculator either. Or a hammer as a screwdriver (but I did try that the other way around once - it had disastrous consequences let me tell you π±). When used with intent, and from the perspective of understanding what the tool is, and what its limits are, they can be used for significant benefit. Or malice. Depends on the user.
For me, it is as it was originally designed to be - a helper. An assistant. I am gradually training my own offline self-hosted LLM to replace any reliance on corporate-agenda capitalist-developed models, but it takes time. The progress is promising, however.
