A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I never spent any money on AI. Use locally run open source models.
Doesn't that require a load of computer power? My computer could start a house fire opening a PDF.
Depends on your hardware (such as your graphics card). But it's definitely possible and a lot of people do it.
I've always been sketchy about the energy requirements argument. It's not like artists don't take a lot of energy to create their work. If you hire someone to spend all day making a painting for you, you're may be talking a day's worth of first world-level energy consumption.
Sure but that person doesn't stop existing if you don't hire them. A GPU would otherwise consume no energy.
No more than a video game.
