In general, if it isn't open source in every sense of the term, GPL license, all weights and parts of the model, and all the training data and training methods, it's a non-starter for me.

I'm not even interested in talking about AI integration unless it passes those initial requirements.

Scraping millions of people's data and content without their knowledge or consent is morally dubious already.

Taking that data and using it to train proprietary models with secret methodologies, locking it behind a pay wall, then forcing it back onto consumers regardless of what they want in order to artificially boost their stock price and make a handful of people disgustingly wealthy is downright demonic.

Especially because it does almost nothing to enrich our lives. In its current form, it is an anti-human technology.

Now all that being said, if you want to run it totally on your own hardware, to play with and help you with your own tasks, that's your choice. Using in a way that you have total sovereignty over is good.
