    Honestly, the cost of LLMs are simply too high for me to stomach. I would never use them, no matter how much they are shoved onto my face.

      Would you use a local open source LLM? (Assuming you have, or have the ability to acquire, a GPU or 2)

        Most likely no. I haven鈥檛 found them all that useful, tbh. Maybe I am just broken, but it really makes me wonder how people like it so much.

          I find some utility in them, they鈥檙e VERY far from the end all be all tool that AI bros hype.

          I used it heavily to generate more cover letters for a recent job hunt than Ive ever done in my life and that鈥檚 in addition to generating pretty much all of my written communication. So it was of great help there to help me mass apply to shit (without using one of those dumb AI applying services (tried like 2 of em, utter dog shit lmao))

          Just yesterday I used my local LLM to process a pic I snapped of a handwritten birthday invite one of my kids got and it was inserted into my calendar accurately. Is GenAI 100%, no, but it鈥檚 more accurate than the previous solution for something like that I think.
