  I use Symfonium and an easily happy with it, if it helps. Not foss - you have a one time fee (aka buying - not a subscription), however. I found it worth it, and use it in conjunction with a Navidrome instance.

  Thinking it’s only about the LLMs is pretty reductive, though I guess it makes for an easily digestible statement.

  We don’t ask people to be mad about the tool, it’s about how we’re being told The Tool is the most important human endeavor, while the mass usage of The Tool has yet to prove more worthwhile than having a chat with a friend, all the while we create a lot of ethical, ecological and economical debt in order to keep evolving The Tool, and funneling most of the products of that debt into the hands of people who already have more than enough.

  So The Tool as of yet has had way more negative direct and side effects, both by its use and its development, than any projected positive outcomes that comes out of the mass deployment and usage of The Tool.

  This is what - to me, one of the Luddite who would rather stop this cancer from growing - we are mad about, and why, given the scale of things at this moment and what is projected, think people should be more in the know of the revolting realities that are not said in all those nice press releases and consumer expos.

  “Lemmy really hates it when a corporation murders people, yet they never say anything about individuals who kill in legitimate defense of themselves”

  That’s pretty much how you sound, buddy.

  If the AI created was really useful and made open to all freely, a different song would be sung, you know.

  Right now, it is simply as useful as putting gas on a fire to extinguish it.

  I got this curse, though it only doubles a letter, not nine-tuples it. The biggest curse, is that the only cure I found when the curse starts, it is to remove the keyboard drivers and let Windows (ugh, I know) reinstall them. Here’s the keyboard drivers I’m presented with each timee : (double e left in for good measure) Device Manager (Win 11), 7 HID Keyboard Devices, no way to figure out what is what

  Not to say you’re wrong (I seriously have no clue), but how many people in Japan use Capital One / AmEx tho? They might not put their nose where there’s no volume either. For what it’s worth, AmEx is often not accepted. I wonder if it is the same over there?

  Just to make sure, your issue is :

  But I cannot access audiobookshelf.local.com or audiobookshelf.local.com (it automatically forwards to HTTPS). If so, well, you’re forcing SSL, which means it’ll automatically transmit http request to https. If you don’t want that, turn it off. Anyway, it’s going to be used only locally, correct?

  I’ll spell out for you why I feel these two things are the same. You’re welcome to disagree, but maybe it will give you some pointers as to why a lot of people are annoyed by these LLM copy-pasta.

  First, a note for your ego : Remember, we don’t know you! You might have read through the whole thing that the LLM generated, and then cross-referenced the sources it gave you and then found some more, and you established the veracity of what it told you. OR you might have not bothered and just copy-pasted it for the clout, I guess, which is what the majority of LLM users do when publishing these answers. Ask for some explanations on how to solve a problem to a student who let a LLM give them the answer to an assignment instead of doing the work, if you need proof. 9/10 won’t be able to, because they didn’t bother to understand it - and I’m being generous in my statistics, in my experience.

  There’s also a lot of research that hints that the long term effect of using this tool in that way are deleterious to your critical thinking skills.
  We don’t know you, so, chances are you’re in the lot of the majority, as far as we’re concerned.

  Then, given that you probably didn’t put much effort into this text (as far as we can tell), there is an imbalance of effort required for us to look through it critically. Why the fuck would we put in the effort, if you most likely were not keen in putting so much in yourself? That’s kinda disrespectful, and egotistical. And also why I feel I am justified to assume that ctrl+c/ctrl+v an LLM output directly is tantamount to copy pasting a list of link from google. If you went through the trouble of validating the LLM output, how about just writing with your own word what you just realized / learned / validated? You can even dictate with tons of FOSS software nowadays if you’re unable to type!

  So that’s what I have for now, food for your thoughts I hope. I’m sure I could find more reasons, but I’m going to go do something fun instead.

  You realize that if we wanted to see an AI response, we’d ask an AI ourselves. What you’re doing is akin to :
