And people wonder why I don't use ChatGPT.
You could just watch what you input into it lol ChatGPT is a pretty good tool to have in the toolkit and like any tool there's warnings and cautions on its use.
It’s an amazing tool. I think it’s funny how many people fight it tooth and nail. I like to think they’re the kind of person who refused to use spell check, or the touch tone phone.
There are very valid philosophical and ethical reasons not to use it. We’re not just being luddites for the hell of it. In many cases, we’re engineers and scientists with interest, experience, or expertise in neural nets and LLMs ourselves, and we don’t like how fast and loose (in a lot of really, really important ways) all these big companies are playing it with the training datasets, nor how they’re actively disregarding any sort of legal or ethical responsibility around the technology writ large.
Likewise. The same could be said about every technology.
Uh, no. Why would that be the case? Every technology has unique upsides and downsides and the downsides of this one are not being handled correctly and are in fact being exacerbated.
I'm not against chat GPT or other AI, but I am thoroughly sick of hearing about it.
Agreed. It’s really annoying.
Are there any trustworthy AI apps or alternatives?
HuggingFace Chat does the work for me
Absolutely. Host your own. Like the other person said, Hugging Face and look upon llama.cpp as well, vicuna wizard uncensored probably spelled that wrong
I'm sure the average person is totally capable of doing that, or even knowing about it /s. Jfc.
I finally found some offline ones jan.ai and koboldcpp you download the GGUF model and run everything from your own pc, it just takes a lot of CPU and GPU for it to work acceptable, my setup can't really manage much more than a model with 7B.
To be fair, they are talking about the OpenAI end user version, not the models themselves.
Its still sketchy to send your data willingly to them and hope because you pay per request, its not getting tracked and saved.
My company is deep into microsoft, so we all get Bing Chat Enterprise.
Microsoft says it doesnt store anything and runs on separate systems.. i guess with a company-offer they are more likely to put more protections in place because a breach would mean real consequences.
(opposed to a breach with end-users, most of which dont care or would ever go through the legal trouble)
