Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

  You’re a brave one admitting that on here. Don’t you know LLM’s are pure evil? You might as well be torturing children!

    I think most people on here are reasonable, and I think local LLMs are reasonable.

    The race to AGI and companies trying to shove “AI” into everything is kind of insane, but it’s hard to deny LLMs are useful and running them locally you dont have privacy concerns.

      Interesting, this has not been my experience. Most people on here seem to treat AI as completely black and white, with zero shades of grey.

        I see a mix, don’t get me wrong, Lemmy is definitely opinionated lol, but I don’t think it’s quite black and white.

        Also, generally, I’m not going to not share my thoughts or opinions because I’m afraid of people that don’t understand nuance, sometimes I don’t feel like dealing with it, but I’m going to share my opinion most of the time.

        OP asked what you self host that isn’t media, self hosted LLMs is something I find very useful and I didn’t see mentioned. Home assistant, pihole, etc, all great answers… But those were already mentioned.

        I still have positive upvotes on that comment, and no one has flamed me yet, but we will see.

        Concur. In particular models focused on image output.

    The tech itself is great.

    But:

    • Businesses push that shit where it doesn’t belong
    • Businesses replacing people by AI when it is objectively worst, to make a buck
    • Business stealing the work of million of people to train their model

      Completely agree

    Ais fine as a tool, trying to replace workers and artists while blatantly ripping stuff off is annoying, it can be a timesaver or just helpful for searching through your own docs/files

      If you agree it’s a time saver, then you agree it makes workers more efficient. You now have a team of 5 doing the work of a team of 6. From a business perspective it’s idiotic to have more people than you need to, so someone would be let go from that team.

      I personally don’t see any issue with this, as it’s been happening for the existence of humanity.

      Tools are constantly improving that make us more efficient.

      Most of people’s issue with AI is more an issue with greedy humans, and not the technology itself. Lord knows that new team of 5 is not getting the collective pay as the previous team of 6.

        Nor will they get the workload of 6 people. They might for a couple of months, but at some point the KPI’s will suddenly say that it’s possible to squeeze out the workload of 2 more people. With maybe even 1 worker less!

        more work can get done and more work can be show in progress, its like a marginal timesaver, itll knock off 25% of a human maybe if that, not replace a whole one

    I think looking through the comments on this post about AI stuff is a pretty good representation of my experience on lemmy. Definitely some opinions, but most people are pretty reasonable 🙂

    LLMs are perfectly fine, and cool tech. Problem is they’re billed as being actual intelligence or things that can replace humans. Sure they mimic humans well enough, but it would take a lot more than just absorbing content to be good enough at it to replace a human, rather than just aiding them. Either the content needs to be manually processed to add social context, or new tech needs to be made that includes models for how to interpret content in every culture represented by every piece of content, including dead cultures who’s work is available to the model. Otherwise, “hallucinations” (e.g. misinterpretation and thus miscategorization of data) will make them totally unreliable without human filtering.

    That being said, there many more targeted uses of the tech that are quite good, but always with the need for a human to verify.
