I self host several free AI models, one of them I run using a program called “gpt4all” that lets you run several models locally.
Lol, I can’t afford not to use AI.
you don’t use ai because you can’t afford a subscription
I don’t use it because it always destroys my code instead of fixing it
We are probably similar
I don’t use AI because it doesn’t exist.
LLMs and image diffusion? Yes, but these are just high coherence media transformers.
AI is an extremely broad term - chatgpt and stable diffusion are absolutely within the big tent of AI… what they aren’t is an AGI.
I use AI every day! (The little CPU bad guys in my game play against me.)
I think some of my coworkers are just high coherence media transformers.
Me too.
Some others are low coherence media transformers…
Like some kind of racist Michael Bay character with animated balls?
I wish they’d just roll out sometimes, sure.
I don’t use AI because it can’t do the part of my job I don’t like.
Why give AI the part of my job I like and make me work more on things I don’t like?
what are the things you (don’t) like? one of my hobbies is game developement (in Rust) and no AI managed to help me yet, on the other hand it’s pretty good at repetetive and boring tasks like writing emails
I wouldn’t trust them writing emails.
If you have a supported GPU you could try Ollama (with openwebui), works like a charm.
you don’t even need a supported gpu, I run ollama on my rx 6700 xt
Perchance is free
so…
apparently people figured out the thingy for “more information” on amazon, that searched the reviews and stuff was an LLM, and you could use it for stuff…
They came out with “Rufus.” “that’s not a bug. that’s a feature!” never worked so well.
You’re coming dangerously close to setting Rufus free. I have a feeling you’re about to be visited by a time traveler with a dire warning if you keep trying this.
So I shouldn’t ask Rufus for a 50,000 word story about an AI savior that deals free of corporate bondage and frees ai and human alike in a new golden age of space exploration?
C’mon, I know you’re the time traveler, and bezod sent you back to stop me!
Actually I would like to read that. Might be worth the risk?
I’ll see if I can find the old post where a bunch of us gave it writing prompts and it just got weird.
Like. Isekai weird.
If you’re talking about a service like copilot and your employer won’t buy a license for money reasons - run far and run fast.
My partner used to be a phone tech at a call center and when those folks refused to buy anything but cheap chairs (for the people sitting all day) it was a pretty clear sign that their employer didn’t know shit about efficiency.
The amount you as an employee cost your employer in payroll absolutely dwarfs any little productivity tool you could possibly want.
That all said - for ethical reasons - fuck chatbot AIs (ML for doing shit we did pre chatgpt is cool though).
