I love Language Models! (ChatGPT & Gemini) (sh.itjust.works)

Not an advertisement I swear, but I honestly love language models, I specifically use Chat GPT and Gemini ALL the time.

I'm someone who loves research and learning. I always have questions on all sorts of things. Before GPT I would be googling things for hours each day, visiting forums, watching YouTube videos, etc.

Now with GPT I can ask so many questions on things I am curious about, and even ask follow up questions or ask for more in depth explanations.

I think I am also a bit ADHD and so my brain is always jumping around different topics which makes me curious on specific things. My latest is insects, specifically wasps.

I absolutely hate bugs, and wasps are the worst. But I am now learning more and more how important a lot of bugs actually are to the ecosystem. It's really a great way to learn and engage with topics when you can ask follow up questions or ask for more details on specific aspects.

TLDR: GPT has replaced 90% of my research that Google used to be.

Important Note: Please be aware language models can be innacurate and prone to mistakes, so always verify the data from other sources if you need accurate information and not just general knowledge.

I wouldn't use a cloud AI

Self host a LLM. You actually don't need much hardware to run the smaller models and they are decent. You can install ollama and then connect to it with a client. I like Mistral the mist but Mistral nemo is pretty good even though it is slower.

Also please don't use an LLM in place of a councilor. https://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2024-10-25/an-ai-chatbot-pushed-a-teen-to-kill-himself-a-lawsuit-against-its-creator-alleges
