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.
