Hot take: AI chat is cool in the same way slavery is cool.
It gives you awesome and cheap solutions as long as you can abstract away the questionable business practices that are hidden from view.
Running Mistral locally using Open WebUI does impress me, but I can't help but think of the copyright violations that have been used to train the model.
At least I'm not using external infrastructure to run it, but still.
