I've noticed an uptick in the number of pro-AI posts on this platform.

Various posts with titles similar to "When will people stop being afraid of AI" or "Can we please acknowledge AI was very needed for X"

Can't tell if its the propaganda machine invading, or annoying teenage tech-bros who are detached from reality.

Thanks for responding. It's good to get different people's opinion about it.

Running stuff locally is really cool, I've messed about with it. I think the tech is super interesting, it's just a shame about all the downsides in the way it's used right now. Unfortunately what I can run is very limited, my most powerful machine has a 4070 GPU with 12GB of VRAM. The lack of VRAM really limits it to very small models which are fun to play around with, but not for anything serious.

I would love to get my hands on something with more VRAM or one of those unified memory ARM systems. However AI has pushed prices for anything like that into the stratosphere.

I like to hear opinions of people who find it interesting; myself I've tried Claude and did not like the experience and don't use it. I have a similar gaming GPU that could run small models but not ones powerful enough to be very interesting.
