You joke, but I would welcome this.

It’s not expensive for me to run a local LLM, I just use the hardware I’m already using for gaming. Electricity is cheap and most people with a gaming PC probably use more electricity gaming than they would running their own LLM and asking it some questions.
I don’t personally know the monetary cost of running one of these things locally, and I should be more informed before I make sweeping statements.
I’m also against shoving AI in evening, and not making it Opt-In. I’m also worried about privacy and concentration of power etc.
Then we are on the same page
But just outright saying LLMs are bad is rediculous.
I didn’t say that, in fact I said that I didn’t have a problem with them as a concept, go back to the previous point for a reason why someone might have instant dislike of “AI”
And saying there is no good reason to use them is rediculous. Can we stop doing that.
I also didn’t say that. I just said your examples weren’t good uses of it. I happen to think that there are very good applications for this technology, but none of those are publicly available GenAI slop and soulless automation systems/assistants that are really just corporate spyware to collect advertising data.
If you want a “smart home” with voice commands because it make you feel like Tony Stark talking to Jarvis go right ahead, but don’t pretend that your locally run LLM is what people are talking about when they level criticism against “AI” (or even if they just say ‘AI bad’)

If you want to live your life like that, go for that’s your choice. But I don’t think those applications are worth the cost of running an LLM. To be honest I find it frivolous.
I’m not against LLMs as a concept, but the way they get shoved into everything without thought and without an “AI” free option is absurd. There are good reasons why people have a knee-jerk anti-AI reaction, even if they can’t articulate it themselves.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 3 days ago:
I can run a small LLM locally which I can talk to using voice to turn certain lights on and off, set reminders for me, play music etc.
Neat trick, but it’s not worth the headache of set up when you can do all that by getting off your chair and pushing buttons. Hell, you don’t even have to get off your chair! A cellphone can do all that already, and you don’t even need voice commands to do it.
Are you able to give any actual examples of a good use of an LLM?

If you can’t see why people don’t like AI slop, you are either in denial or completely oblivious.

I would prefer if all genAI were so obvious. Makes it easier to avoid.

You know that’s not going to happen tho, right? People aren’t going to just forget all the centuries upon centuries of reinforcement of these roles and expectations. All you can ask is that we be kind to one another.

The only person who can tell a person what their gender is is that person themselves. Even if it’s obvious to everyone around them, it’s not one’s job to dictate to another something that personal.

Point being it’s not a bad thing and not worth complaining about.

All were trying to tell you is don’t go out of your way (which you did) to belittle somebody’s faith. It’s kinda cringe.

Look dude, there’s people out there who believe in magic and you’re just going to have to live with that. Don’t get your panties in a twist when you see them online and give into the urge to tell them it’s silly.

Full disclosure: I’ve only played a little bit of REmake 2 and none of the originals or REmake 3. I have a friend who has, and he says that REmake 3 was a pretty big letdown.

Please take not of the symbol on the bag in that image. It indicates that the plastic bag is not recyclable. Not all plastics are recyclable, and also I banged your dad, you can call me Dad2 if you like.
