I started using chatbots yesterday and it surprised me how complete and articulate answers are. Main topics would be apparel, sewing, cooking, finance, ETFs, taxes, house maintenance, retirement.

Do you consider AI good enough to substitute human interaction? Because I remember a south park episode where randy marsh ignores his wife to interact exclusively with a bot. A parody of course but we have already plenty of AI porn and AI short stories for gullible people… and it works because they don’t stop watching (and sometimes believe it to be real).

I was always kind of an anti AI guy due to privacy, to avoid LLMs monetizing my questions and because I didn't want to be a moron who has nothing better to do than to watch AI slop, but this is a tool so pervasive and practical I’m only isolating myself if I opt out of it. Thoughts?

Are there any questions you won’t ask a bot so the company behind it doesn’t monetize your input?

Not a substitute for human interaction. Humans are the value there not the interaction alone. We are social.

But they are surprisingly good at many things, especially finding answers from many sources quickly and linking to those source. So, good at searching with you.

It is increasingly simple to run local inference with omlx, ollama, or similar tools. That works great because you can use open source and open weight models where no corporation can get their grubby little hands on your inquiries.
