AI.. its everywhere and in everything. In general its just a plugin, that does some stuff to "make life easier" and that's what a plugin is.
but beyond that, its being powered by billionaire who are using their wealth and name to pump up a bubble, making promises to buy more ram and SSDs than the market can afford, to push every day folks away from ownership. They want to put these things into data centers that are taking water away from people, polluting the air they need and staining the gird.
and if you take it out of that system and use it locally with minimal power (hey I can run models on my laptop) you still are using a product that has stolen the copyright of almost every creator of the last century. The same copyright laws Anthropic is using to force take downs of the source code their own system leaked.
But its going to be OK. Just make sure you have your government issued ID before you log on.
