I agree that the market for local AI is basically limited to nerds at this point, but that's because nobody's really explained why local AI is a good thing and also because the vast majority of people need the $20 paid plan at most. How much time and money would it take to get something half as good as OpenAIs products running locally?

- SkiFire13 5mo ago> that's because nobody's really explained why local AI is a good thing There are a lot of good things that need to be explained to people, but nobody ever managed to. I don't think this will be any different. > because the vast majority of people need the $20 paid plan at most Exactly, people are not gonna invest time and money when there's already something else that satisfies their need. Local AI will need to be both better and more convenient in order to be adoped by the masses.
