VoytrekkThe bubble cannot burst fast enough. I’m tired of these higher hardware costs because of a feature that nobody wants.
It’s not really something that no one wants though…
Lemmy is loudly against it, but in real life we have tons of people actually asking for it all the time. Hell at work they had to setup a company AI provider account because people using their own subscriptions was happening too much.
IT departments are under a lot of pressure by business leadership to have AI offerings. Most businesses are asking to implement a buzzword, not solve any kind of business challenge.
There is that too, but I am talking about employees asking to use an LLM. Nearly everyone was using one on their own, and leadership didn’t want company data getting spread around, so they setup a business plan. Completely separate from the company leadership wanting AI in our products for the buzzword (though that is still very much a thing too lol)
All im saying is that people do want LLM chatbots to help with their work, I have dealt with it first hand.
