    I occasionally use DeepSeek because it’s free but yeah makes mistakes also. They are not really smart they just know how to sound smart. In the end of the day LLM models are just another tool that can be used for research but ultimately I do feel it it will be detrimental to humans. I don’t think Terminator will happen but big tech will use to dumb down people. They want dumb populace that will buy their products without asking Why.

      I encounter an attitude with a lot of people who really hate it where they act like it’s the Antichrist but the problem is really people. Unfortunately you can’t uninvent a technology and make it go away forever.

      There are some tasks that it’s useful for but I treat it like a really stupid guy who is occasionally fun to talk to. Anything involving important information will be researched properly. The idea of using it to write anything is insane to me, in order for it to be half decent you’d have to tear out large sections and rewrite them yourself. At which point why would you just write the thing.

      There is one feature that GPT has that I don’t know how to get on a locally hosted instance, i’d like to host my own but I’m too inept. Being able to upload files for it to “look” at is novel. Also having it not be censored would be good. As well as having it entirely contained within my computer.
