AI is a highly advanced tool. Prompt engineers are the new white collar force multiplier. All the stupid articles are due to the efforts of venture capital to establish a monopoly with proprietary AI by using manipulative propaganda. AI on its own is unreliable and dumb. It has no long term persistent memory. It is nowhere near an Artificial General Intelligence. The large language model is just a massive statistical analysis of subject categorization and a statistical probability of what word should come next. Its only "memory" is what happens in a conversation as it is happening. This is not "learned" information. It is simply tinting the subject and word probabilities as they are happening. Larger models just have more subjects and a larger lexicon that often includes several human languages.

I swear, at this point, The Terminator movie was the greatest propaganda film for billionaire AI dominion. The fear mongering is a joke. Go download Oobabooga. Then go to the github of AI, a website called hugging face. Find the Llama2 7b uncensored model by The Bloke and get the one that has GGLM in the name. This will run on almost any modern computer. GGLM means this model can run with split operations. Like, it can run on more than one GPU. This also means it can run on a CPU or a combined CPU and GPU. All you really need is at least 16GB or system memory. If you only have 16GB of system mem use the 4bit version. Uncensored means you can talk about anything. Ask it dumb stuff, you're scared of like this fear mongering bullshit, these systems are not that bright. You're not going to take over the world with this rat Brain. Ask it about that simple command line problem you spent the last hour sorting out, or what is wrong with your spreadsheet function, or how some other example works, or whatever the F some regex or sed command does. This is where LLMs are freaking awesome. If you barely explore this new tech the news sounds like a bunch of parroting idiots. Which it is.
