Comment on So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off
warbond@lemmy.world 9 months agoSorry, I’m not sure I understand how that makes it useless. I get the feeling that you just want to feel smug, so if it makes you feel better go ahead, I guess.

Because it’s too fragile and not ready to be use at scale without causing massive damage
Not useless for now (even if i’d like to know more about the domains where it’s really “indispensable”), but as useless as a drill with a dead battery the day they decide to cut it.
I don’t find it future-proof, as impressive as some results are

Nowdays LLM can be ran on consumer hardware, so the “dead battery” analogy fall short here too.

With the same efficiency ? I’m interested in an example
Why everyone using these crappy SaaS then ?

Llama 2 and its derivatives, mostly. Simple local ui available here.
Not as good as chatGPT 3.5 in my experience. Just kinda falls apart on anything too complex, and is a lot more likely to get things wrong.
I tried it out using the ‘Open-Orca/OpenOrcaxOpenChat-Preview2-13B’ 4 bit 32g model. Its surprisingly fast to generate. It seems significantly faster than ChatGPT on my 3060. (with ExLlama)
There are also some models tuned specifically to actually answer your requests instead of the ‘As an AI language model’ kind of stuff.

For the same reason SaaS is popular in general: yes, you could get a VPS, install all the needed software on it, keep it up to date, oor you could pay a company to do all that for you.
