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?

It just functions so much better to use low cost api subs over trying to run anything locally. Let them subsidize this shit for you, don't abuse your own hardware while it's expensive af to replace, can spend 100s a year on subs and it'll be less than the hardware costs for that amount of time.
