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?
I don't use AI because it doesn't exist.
LLMs and image diffusion? Yes, but these are just high coherence media transformers.
I use AI every day! (The little CPU bad guys in my game play against me.)
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.
The point is that AI stands for “artificial intelligence” and these systems are not intelligent. You can argue that AI has come to mean something else, and that’s a reasonable argument. But LLMs are nothing but a shitload of vector data and matrix math. They are no more intelligent than an insect is intelligent. I don’t particularly care about the term “AI” but I will die on the “LLMs are not intelligent” hill.
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.
obligatory navier-stokes equation
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
What are you using it for?
game developement in Rust
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).

If you have 16GB of ram you can already run the smaller models. And these have become quite competent with recent releases.
LM studio or JanAI work very nicely for me as well.
Even shorter: https://duck.ai
If you have a supported GPU you could try Ollama (with openwebui), works like a charm.

👏Ollama👏
I self host several free AI models, one of them I run using a program called “gpt4all” that lets you run several models locally.
Ollama is also a cool way of running multiple models locally
That might be the other one I run, I forget because it’s on my server as a virtual machine (rtx 3080 pass through), but I haven’t used it in a long time.
Perchance is free
I'm too lazy to learn using it
