Open Source AI is Amazing

[GON]

No judgement but if you don't use AI much why pay $200/mo for ChatGPT? In two years that's $4800 and you could have built a sweet self-hosted AI server.

I am using ChatGPT to assist with some medical research and employment related tasks. Hopefully those two reasons I pay for ChatGPT will be concluded in a narrowing timeframe and I will cancel the ChatGPT subscription.

What I don’t know is if I can get the same results using ChatGPT free version. But at this immediate time, I am paying the subscription price in hopes of getting the highest quality results.

This behavior/mentality is not a new concept and not just limited to AI haha.

I am still skeptical about these horseless carriages and those odd flying machines. Electric ice boxes?! PFFFFT.

I think AI is pretty useful, but I do worry a bit about how its going to be implemented and regulated.

True enough. Decades before that, we were able to drop two atom bombs--all without the use of AI. We certainly don't need AI to kill people in war.

Operation Iraqi Freedom they were putting scud missiles in bed with the bad actors before AI. lol

AI makes my job easier on a daily basis. It is a little scary though as I can tell it to review all my sent emails and then craft my future emails with similar language and tone. Amazing, but a little "whoa!" too. Like anything, garbage in, garbage out, but it is continually getting better and can really cut down the time on menial and repetitive tasks.

I've lessened the number of times I pop into a computer forum to ask a question. I have found that AI can often give me the answer almost immediately for some basic tech questions. Saves me time, for sure.

If only I could get it to stop telling me to enter "del C:\Windows\System32" at the command prompt.....

I like it, and I'm one of the longest time members here.

Note: Prior to retirement I did work for the father of the internet, founder of 3D graphics and yes AI. So while not on the 'inside' so to speak as I simply worked in the flight department. Our flight department did fly Peter Thiel around during the early days of Palantir. I still visualize him as a very young guy! Super nice guy too!!!

I'm sorry, but the company being named Palantir is too on-the-nose for me.

Peter Thiel may present as a "Super nice guy;" in my opinion he is anything but.

My DOM sent an email out company-wide and it was clearly written using AI.

It came off as incredibly disrespectful.

I have used AI several times in recent weeks to quickly get me information. A useful tool it seems.
