@prism@infosec.exchange @matt@toot.cafe @tristan@hachyderm.io What I'm noticing is that a large part of "using it well" involves getting a paid subscription. A lot of the Anti AI crowd will just test some free model with no web search and no reasoning, and then have some incoherent complaints about hallucinations or some such. The people for whom AI is the fast-but-stupid Google Search model are even worse.

@miki@dragonscave.space @prism@infosec.exchange @tristan@hachyderm.io And I can see why the kind of people who are drawn to fedi (outside of the blind community, who came here for a different reason) would be resistant to anything that requires a central service, whether subscription or free (a.k.a. "you're the product"). Ideally, software should be feasible to run locally, and should be open-source, so anyone can understand and modify it, not just the tech elite.
