  • So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism

    • XDA ☛ Running local AI on the Raspberry Pi 5 taught me why cloud models are still winning [Ed: Slop is not winning and relying on slop is defeat]

      Except for Google's AI responses to searches, I've never used AI before, not once. Most people I know, when they hear this, say, "You haven't used AI? But it's so useful!" I disagreed; I'd seen the results Google's AI gave, and it honestly seemed overhyped. Then I thought about it and realized I couldn't really judge it without testing it. However, being into tech, I didn't want to risk my privacy, knowing the impact that can have, so I wanted to install the AIs locally instead.
