It’s not really something that no one wants though… Lemmy is loudly against it, but in real life we have tons of people actually asking for it all the time. Hell at work they had to setup a company AI provider account because people using their own subscriptions was happening too much.

The bubble cannot burst fast enough. I’m tired of these higher hardware costs because of a feature that nobody wants.

IT departments are under a lot of pressure by business leadership to have AI offerings. Most businesses are asking to implement a buzzword, not solve any kind of business challenge.

There is that too, but I am talking about employees asking to use an LLM. Nearly everyone was using one on their own, and leadership didn’t want company data getting spread around, so they setup a business plan. Completely separate from the company leadership wanting AI in our products for the buzzword (though that is still very much a thing too lol)
All im saying is that people do want LLM chatbots to help with their work, I have dealt with it first hand.

My fear is that this is only going to become the new pricing floor. Someone suggested that these companies are going to systematically scoop up nearly all remaining tech in an attempt to sell cloud computing etc as the only option for the average consumer (due to lack of affordable or perhaps even available tech)…
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they don’t want us having any access to our own computers etc because they can only control so much of what we can do with them.

I think digital fascism is a likely motivator at this point. The ceos have all been hanging out with the political fascists, so there’s not much reason to think otherwise.

I’ve also seen this perspective online and I really hope it’s just a theory and not reality.
