"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

There isn't any lightweight local LLM which give valid results, or you dedicate >90GB for it, or you permits that it connect to the online source servers, wasting a lot of bandwith. You can use locally only AIs dedicated to certain tasks, eg for summarizing documents or in some graphic apps to automate some functions or for accounting in the office, but forget an local alround Assistant.
If you want an AI for certain tasks, use search assistants, like DuckAI or Andisearch, which are good for summarize results fom Webpages without the need of big and large lengage models, being privacy friendly, or use a specific one which you can anonym without account, eg one of those from HuggingFace or one specific from Futurepedia, there you can filter what you need.
