@trinityblair Hey @grok is this true?
In all seriousness, AI helps a lot for super niche search questions, like a song you know one lyric to, but other things as well like the key or whatever tf. What would be optimal is a local LLM you can run on your own comp, for privacy.
Problem is, AI's a lot like social media, where it *has* legit uses, but 90% of people get one-shotted by it and degenerate.
I've been using a lot of local LLMs at work lately (because my company is pushing me to, and I'm also looking for another job).
The thing is, even though they preserve privacy, somebody else has still trained them. This presents two main problems, as far as I see it:
Using a model also uses a lot more electricity than just regular computing as well, especially if you want it to not be ridiculously slow, but it's about the same as intense gaming.
@danjones000 True, although, what would be an issue in what an AI is trained on? I can only think, "Stealing art," but I'm honestly ambivalent on that due to my dislike on many/most forms of copyright.
And I'll copy-paste this from another comment:
<As for "harming the planet," I don't think it's *uniquely* bad. I mean, not worse than many other things people are broadly "okay" with (e.g., buying non-local goods, animal farming, traveling, etc.).>
