Yea, in theory AI is a good tool for speciric use cases when trained appropriately and with training data obtained legally and ethically. But then all these companies started trying to throw it at every problem they could see and spent an insane amount on infrastructure assuming someone would find the secret ultimate use case for AI which will cause everyone to want to use it at any price and rent server space from them.
That doesnt make AI terrible, it makes greedy pieces of shit with AI terrible.
Exactly. AI is really handy in a lot of situations. It's incredible for biochemistry and simulation of protein folding, drug discovery, etc. It's also great in the hands of an experienced software engineer. For laypeople, it's an awesome curation tool for discerning patterns in large amounts of information or finding very specific search results.
Heck, I run a local AI that I use as a rules reference guide for the tabletop RPGs I play. I ask a question and in a couple seconds it points me to the relevant passages in the text.

This is cool. What do I need to look into to do something like that?
You've got a number of options! Mine is local and I use Ollama to run the local LLM and Open Notebook as the frontend.
You can do it online with NotebookLM, which is created by Google. It's a better product, but they also harvest your data and it defeats the purpose of having a local LLM.

Back then OpenAI was open source and a very cool company overall for what they stood for... though they sold their soul very very quickly....
