Much like uber and netflix, all of these ai chatbots that are available for free right now will become expensive, slow, and dumb once the investor money runs out and these companies have to figure out a business model. We're in the golden age of LLMs right now, all we can do is enjoy the free service while it lasts and try not to make it too much a part of our workflow, because inevitably it will be cut off. Unless you're one of those people with a self-hosted LLM I guess.
This. AI Hype beasts keep saying "This is the worst AI will ever be" and "It'll just get better" but really it's just going to get worse as they actually try to turn the bubble into a profit
will become expensive, slow, and dumb
Wouldn't they have to become smart first?
I was about to say, a selfhosted LLM means I'm not competing with every market analysis tool, customer service replacement, and 10 y/o kid bombarding the service with junk. It doesn't need to be ultra fast if I'm the only one using the hardware.
