This is the real problem. I'm arguing it's a good tool in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing.
Despite the ecological costs?
The ecological costs don't need to be very high. We host our own LLM models at my company on a Mac Mini, which doesn't use a ton of power and works pretty well.
FWIW I did try few LLMs locally too (cf my notes on the topic https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence ) but AFAIK that is only the top of the iceberg, that LLM has been trained before and that's a significant part of the cost.
