I’m not using any “forced on me” AI products, other than as a search engine aid, and I have better tools for that now anyway.

I do, absolutely use AI. I use local, self hosted small focused AI that run on old hardware I was just using to self host media and games anyway.

Want do my AI do? Lots of boring organizing, text/voice recognition, and script/simple coding for hobby projects and such, all offline. For online stuff there are private large Available, but those cost money and I’m cheap.
