OP Here. It is my firm belief that the only realistic use of AI in the future is either locally on-device for almost free, or in the cloud but way more expensive then it is today.

The latter option will only bemusedly for tasks that humans are more expensive or much slower in.

This Gemma 4 model gives me hope for a future Siri or other with iPhone and macOS integration, “Her” (as in the movie) style.

Did you really watch “Her” and think this is a future that should happen??

Seriously????
