How do you think communities might leverage their own AIs to their benefit? (lemm.ee)

It's easy to doom and gloom about big businesses building their big data scraping AI to consolidate even more control and wealth, given that the odds are unfortunately in their favor.

However, AI presents yet another technological turning point for the public in a similar way to mass mechanical automation, and so, how might one imagine communities building their own to help themselves? How might communities use these tools to retain and make more use of their own accumulated data rather than continue to give it up to big businesses?

By using a completely different tool. LLMs are fine for sentence structure, but they aren't intelligent. There is no capacity to distinguish fact from fiction, or to form an underlying model of reality to draw answers from.

Excellent point. Everyone say it with me:

LLMs are not AI.

I'm curious what makes it not AI? It definitely seems like AI, it's able to learn and create new sentences.

It is absolutely ai. The experience of talking with chatgpt is so human like that it just blows my mind. What I've learned so far is that human brains aren't nearly as magical as they seem.
