I’m convinced that people don’t dislike AI so much as they dislike AI + The Cloud.
Gamers have been running what is now known as “AI” on their local PCs for a long, long time. It’s partially why Nvidia has become the number one manufacturer for AI cards. Nobody batted an eye until The Cloud became the go-to manner for accessing LLMs and image generation.
And to be honest, The Cloud sucks for AI. It’s a lot of work for terrible results—often censored to fulfil corporate goals as well.
In fact, I’m convinced that all this fear-mongering over AI is an attempt to make it illegal for us to run it on our desktops.
Why, if we did that, civilization would end! It’s better to give Open AI your money so that no one haphazardly triggers the apocalypse.
