    ChatGPT -> 🚫

    We should not be using or recommending services dependent on stolen data, which are destroying the environment for essentially zero benefit.

      Are there any models trained on ethically sourced material? Even though this wouldn’t necessarily solve the environmental impact, there are still many times when a traditional search engine just doesn’t cut it. All else equal and without a self hosted workflow, I prefer tools that at least pretend to be privacy friendly (Duck.ai, AI Horde), and I had not heard of Proton’s Lumo prior to this post, so I do appreciate the suggestion even if it doesn’t meet all of our criteria.

        LLMs are jot a trusted source of information, period. There is no use case that if I could not fond an answer on a search engine, I would trust the hallucinations from an LLM

          i use a local llm for usage as a thesaurus, ask a question in regular language about what word can be used for a certain definition. this has been the only real usage ive found.
