Yes, more or less. But the issue is not about running local models; that's fine even if it's only for curiosity. The issue is about shoving so-called AI in every activity with the promise it will solve most of your everyday problems, or for mere entertainment. I'm not against "AI", I'm against the current commercialization attempts to monopolize the technology by already huge companies that will only seek profit, no matter the state of the planet and the other non-millionaire people. And this is exactly why even a bubble burst is concerning to me, as the poor are the ones that will truly suffer the consequences of billionaires betting in their mansions with their spare palaces.

    The actual problem is the capitalist system of relations. If it's not AI, then it's bitcoin mining, NFTs, or what have you. The AI itself is just a technology, and if it didn't exist, capitalism would find something else to shove down your throat.
