    OK, other coments are valid, but this borders on rage bait.

    To answer your wuestion, one has 0 uses beside causing harm to people, other has geniue, valid uses that help humanity. There is a saying “if you cant beat it, join it” and how I see it AI is forced on us, or will be soon enough, and I see no way to fight it in long term (though some people aparently do, so kudos to them). I will embrace AI on my term, by selfhosting European open-source models, and educate my family about dangers of AI, and how to use it safely. Telling them AI is satan while their conpany forces them at every step of their job, if they don’t know how to safetly use it, might end up with more problems than solutions.

    In a way I am fighting AI as in “corporate AI” but embracing “lesser of the two evils AI”. Thus embracing it on my terms.

    To use your example, I am not forcing AIDS on my family, but educating them about it and giving them shots agains other lesser diseases like HPV.

      Ah, yes, “I don’t like it so I’ll call it ragebait.” There is no lesser of two evils, it all has the same source. The models that are usable in any capacity are trained by the same companies on the same stolen data. You may have given up yourself and it’s your business, but go fuck yourself for telling others that they must embrace it and there is no alternative.

        I never said other people should follow my steps. Well, let’s just agree to disagree.
