I use it on a semi frequent basis but what is even more interesting is the development going into self hosted LLM's. I believe that eventually chatGPT won't be relevant because you will be able to get the same level of accuracy self hosting in the near future. Eventually we'll get 130b LLM's that self host with very respectable computer usage. Currently the best self hosted models are still an order of magnitude less impressive than ChatGPT. Still really cool to see your resource usage crank to 100% and it spit out any answer at all though.

I don't think AI hype in general is going anywhere, but imo there is still no clear corpo winner until AGI and we may not be able to achieve that without an exponential and explosive growth in raw compute power. Quantum maybe?

I really think more light should shine down on the area of self hosting LLM's. You can even run very tiny models on a raspberry pi. We don't have to let big corpo win again. Hell someone give me Bitcoin and I will walk down the road to the DC I live near and start racking and stacking hardware.
