I have avoided AI (LLMS) because it didn't seem nearly useful enough to warrant supporting these tech assholes. Is there anyway to use it locally on a normal device (16 Gb ram, 8 year old Geforce graphics, etc?). Can I just slow it down and get it to work locally?

That wasn't my experience, but maybe I just didn't run across the right instructions, or it was the particular model. Llama lets you adjust parameters far more. Two sides of the same coin, really.

    Ollama is just llamacpp under the hood. Ollama is just an opinionated version that automatically sets things up that will work for most people. Llamacpp definitely has more of those "nerd knobs" that you can configure for better performance. The flipside is that it is far more complicated. Granted using another LLM to help you makes it not so bad.
