I'm increasingly unhappy with the limits on AI text generation and I have heard that it's not that hard to do it on a laptop oneself. What is the best path forward? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I saw Generative AI for Beginners from Microsoft on GitHub. I've looked at https://fmhy.pages.dev/ai but I'm not sure what I'm really looking for.

I write fiction, and I want a chatbot that will function like chat gpt3.5, but not shut down if things get bloody or sexy, as they so often do.

You know ready, aim, fire? I'm in the AIM stage.

I would look into NovelAI for writing, it's quite specifically for that. It's a paid servicd similar to chatgpt, but it's uncensored and private.

You can run your own lightweight LLM on a laptop but the output will be useless. Good output requires big boy compute.

If you do want to run it on your own hardware, look into Ollama. There's also options to run your own LLM in the cloud with a not too difficult process for non-techies.

Frankly, id find the right LLM for your needs and just pay for it per month, maybe novelai, maybe something else, but chatgpt is not great for creative fiction.

I got a little TOO MUCH involvement from NovelAI. I guess I want suggestion help, idea spitball help, but it's specialized what I'm looking for.

I want my ai to stay on the shelf with my thesaurus until I'm ready to use it.

Interesting, im vaguely interested in this too. i have half of a world written that i want to turn into a game maybe (probably not but, amhaving fun) I have the hardware to turn what i have into an embedding for an open model, and the hardware to run it. So that's the way i would go about it, though i can't advocate for how helpful it would be (yet)
