Just got some useful debugging (doesn't really feel like editing) on a draft paper from an AI running slowly and locally on my machine. No data sent to the cloud. This feels better.
@ntnsndr
Seems great! What model are you using? :)
@edumerco Playing with Minstral and Falcon at the moment.
@ntnsndr
And what are your thoughts about the experience up to now? Is it useful? How? :)
@edumerco @ntnsndr how are those trained? The biggest problems (in my opinion) with AI aren't really sending stuff to the cloud (which is already a problem be it AI or most non-AI tools that accomplish similar tasks), but the massive environmental impact (mostly created during training, though some part of that is cloud based to) and unethically harvested training data. Those won't necessarily change just because a copy of the AI is running locally instead of on a supercomputer somewhere.
