Is it really here to stay? If the wheels fells off the investment train and ChatGPT etc. disappeared tomorrow, how many people would be running inference locally? I suspect most people either wouldn't meet the hardware requirements or would be too frustrated with the slow token generation to bother. My mom certainly wouldn't be talking to it anymore. Remember that a year or two ago, people were saying something similar about NFTs —that they were the future of sharing content online and we should all get used to it. Now, they still might exist, it's true, but they're much less pervasive and annoying than they once were.

  People right here on HN were adamant my next house would be purchased using an NFT. And similar absurd claims about blockchain before that.

    And it's at least interesting that it's a lot of the same people pitching AI now who were all so excited about blockchain and NFTs and the metaverse.

Maybe you don't love your mom enough to do this, but if ChatGPT disappeared tomorrow and it was something she really used and loved, I wouldn't think twice before buying her a rig powerful enough to run a quantized downlodable model on, though I'm not current on which model or software would be the best for her purposes. I get that your relationship with your mother, or your financial situation might be different though.

    Is just your average AI user. Too much "your are right" makes them detached from reality.

      No man, this must be satire.

  Maybe you should talk more to your mother so she does not need a imaginary friend.
