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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Who the fuck still uses ChatGPT when there are so many open source alternatives that are much cheaper and sometimes even better overall?
Not everyone can run a 300B model on their own. Although, self hosting an OSS webui that talks to the API instead of opening their client (chatgpt.com) has proved viable
Yea that's why things like https://openrouter.ai/ exist.
Oh so you use chatgpt (or open source models) via them? Are there privacy guarantees and what about uncensored models. We are spiraling into times where asking who owns that big piece of land next to Canada might be highly controversial
