Does the AI run on local hardware or the cloud? Maybe both? Either way I'm sure every large company will capture any AI-output from your software for "training" but I get that developers could find that data useful to make better software... but will that happen?
I wonder if open source software will be the last bastion of freedom against AI "infecting" all of our software.
@fistfulofdave I recently replaced the battery on my four year old iPhone because I didn't want to upgrade. The battery was the only issue I had, and besides that, it works fine for what I need... but of course, Apple has to sell more iPhones.
@rasterweb The AI I run is all local. There is nothing sent to the internet at all. I’m sure companies may find a way to monetize their types, but for now, local installs are truly that, as they are just the model aspect of the whole picture. There are a few other moving parts. I’m also running mine on an 8th gen Intel and no dedicated GPU. 😅
@kancept Good to hear. I guess I am more concerned about companies like Adobe and Microsoft baking it into every single product they have, and not giving users the option to disable it.
@rasterweb yes, that I agree with. My AI is local and I chose to install it. Not forced in as part of a product with telemetry to train on my data. That’s why I razed my Reddit profile years ago and never contributed to StackOverflow. I don’t need AI trained on my garbage. Now, I don’t disagree with AI training as a whole, it’s the charging for access to what is contributed as open in the first place. It’s beyond providing a public service like a library.
