I have avoided AI (LLMS) because it didn’t seem nearly useful enough to warrant supporting these tech assholes. Is there anyway to use it locally on a normal device (16 Gb ram, 8 year old Geforce graphics, etc?). Can I just slow it down and get it to work locally?

    Why would you want to use them to begin with? Like what do they provide that you can’t do yourself?

      There’s no question about LLMs making some things that they’re very good at like translations much much easier.

      Then there are a variety of possible levels of disability in a variety of ways, and some of those combinations could actually allow LLMs to allow someone to do what they otherwise couldn’t.

      The technology isn’t the devil, the major greed behind its usage or implementation is.
