From that perspective local LLMs sound more like classical piracy. Not ethical, not FOSS, but out of the hands of greedy corporates.

David vs Goliath

Much of the money spent goes into marketing, not even development.

Now Indies don't even come close to that with their marketing spending. To be fair the overall majority of Indies disappears into obscurity and never makes it to the top.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot of money in that market anymore, since it's not AI.

Finally

I often get dead links or those that state something completely different from what the LLM says. If we'd just cut out AI as the middleman, oh well. 🥲

Search algorithms are meant to work regardless of the amount of content or sorting. Page rank used to be a game changer back then to sort websites by relevance.

AI has no search algorithms. It's about 1000% less efficient, because its algorithms are built for token prediction, not sifting through websites.

So yeah, my money is on enshitification.

Wow, I could write something similar. It was game dev for me. My younger self prepared for the college path. I didn't deviate. I didn't land a job in the industry and now do something similar, which isn't exactly games (VR training simulations). Best decision of my life.

Younger self might be disappointed I don't make cool games.
