Did you really watch “Her” and think this is a future that should happen?? Seriously????

I don’t think OP’s point has anything to do with AI companions. The big benefit of moving compute to edge devices is to distribute the inference load on the grid. Powering and cooling phones is a lot easier than powering and cooling a datacenter

  Local ai is probably a good direction, i agree. But there was a part of their point that had to do with ai companions: the bit where they say we are closer to “her”-like ai companions. That was the bit i was responding to.

Having Scarlett Johansson's voice might not be so bad or even something less robotic.

  That happened already, in typical ai fashion: blatant theft https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/scarlett-johansson-legal-action-ai-app-rcna123248 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/scarlett-johansson-legal-action...

      Do you genuinely think a “frequency” is what makes a human voice recognizable? That’s like using someone’s face in an app and then saying “how can you steal pixels?”

        You can’t steal pixels or frequencies. But you can use someone’s image or their voice to sell your product without their permission. You can get all existential about it if you want - I just know that if someone used my face or my voice to shill for a product without my permission i’d be pissed. I’m pretty sure you would be too.

        I’d be pissed if my code was used for training an AI too but that seems legal thus far…

    You wouldn't download a Scarlett Johansson...

What does what they said have anything to do with Her? Local LLMs are better than big corporations owning your data and offering LLMs for a huge cost.

  I get the local ai thing. I agree it’s probably a good direction. The bit that has to do with the movie “her” is the bit at the end where they are excited about “her”-like companions on our phones.

  They literally mentioned Her 2013 at the end of their comment.
