I don't find the explanations bad at all... But it's extremely useful if you know nothing or not enough about a topic
FWIW, I'm a strong proponent of local AI. The big models are cool and approachable. But a model that runs on my 5 year old budget gaming PC isn't that much less useful.
We needed the big, expensive AI to get here... But the reason I'm such an advocate is because this technology can do formerly impossible things. It can do so much good or harm - which is why we need as many people as possible to learn how to use it for what it is, not to mindlessly chase the promise of a replacement for workers.
AI is here to stay, and it'll change everything for better or worse. Companies aren't going to use it for better, they're going to chase bigger profits until the world burns. They're already ruining the web and society, with both AI and enshitification
Individuals skillfully using AI can do more than they can without it - we need every advantage we can get.
It's not "AI or no AI", it's "AI everywhere or only FAANG controlled AI"
