Thanks, but speaking of gatekeepers, I prefer to run these models on my own hardware.
Besides, current-gen "AI" is complete garbage and "intelligence" in name only (about as much of it as in a Quake bot).
I refuse to accept that intelligence amounts to iteratively finding the best next word to utter. The whole current approach is a dead end and we're not even close to AGI.
Open-Source models are key and if you have the appropriate hardware, know-how and time to run it yourself, this is the best approach. Most people, however, don't at this point and this is what we are looking to address.
Agreed with you about "intelligence". I still see value in what it can do at this point, copying here my response to a similar comment above:
"I still see a lot of value in the current tools, most notably when looking to merge multiple well-documented concepts and sources. Ex: Who was the mayor of Paris during WW2? Create an itinerary for 2 young people budget-conscious in Rome for 2 days, travelling with a Vespa and staying at hotel "X". Create a list of all the "rare" languages spoken in Africa, including for each an approximation of how many people speak that language and in which country "Search" would not give you a direct answer to any of those questions. It would require looking at multiple websites and taking notes. Obtaining such an answer almost instantly for 21 sats is, to me, incredible value at this point. I think we just need to keep playing with it until we find which use cases is it good for."
