as much as I am suspicious of new and especially cloud based technology run by corporations, I will hand it to openAI that ChatGPT is proving to be an extremely useful tool this past week. I'm a little late to the AI party, its amazing how far chatbot technology has come since ol' cleverbot. a virtual assistant that knows answers to everything you would ever want to ask and can feed that information to you in a easily digestable human friendly way. I don't want to know how many thousands of knowledge databases it had to be trained on.

If you like open source and don't like cloud services ... GPT4All provides a very easy way to run several smaller LLM's locally, even if you don't have a GPU. They aren't as powerful/capable yet, but can still answer a lot of queries. They've even got llama.cpp running on a pixel6 smartphone generating 5 tokens/second IIRC.
I'm hanging out for the release of the ORCA model, which claims to bring GPT3-like performance/reasoning to a 7 billion parameter model (About 4Gb). 路 1 year ago
Apparently it's trained on 570GB of data ... easiest just to think of it being trained on everything. It knows about Gemtext, for example, and will write some for you if you ask nicely. 路 1 year ago
I've found myself relying a lot less on info from crappy SEO spam sites recently. It's very good at giving ideas and broad overviews of topics. It's not always perfect, but it's still miles better than a lot of sources out there. 路 1 year ago
