Sure, many don’t care and I have also experienced this, but it’s a fabulous way to quickly get a glimpse at a subject, or to get started, or to learn more. It’s not always correct, but for known subjects it’s pretty good

Anything related to law or really specific subjects will be horrible though

Classical education exists for a good reason

Sure, but not everyone teaches well enough, and LLMs are one of the ways to balance this, kinda

And if you don’t understand then… yea it’s still useful as a way to avoid failing a year which is morally questionable but hey, another topic

I wish they were always a luxury, but in some situations they’re just too important to me

And I already pointed the upside. You don’t have to use the default UI though, custom UI exists, APIs exists, and you don’t have to enter personal infos in prompts, as well as use your residential IP… this pretty much makes it unlinkable to you

Surviving is different than living in good conditions

As with every tool, it has downsides. Learn to use it or continue to whine

You have clearly never been in that situation then. It is obviously not like this for many people, but for students for example, it often means a lot more

and you don’t need a computer, and you don’t need to eat good food

It’s just that you lose so much productivity, comfort and so on

When such a tool is a difference between 30 mins and 5 hours of work, then you simply use it. You either move with the masses to compete, or you don’t, but you’ll pay the price anyways.

If you want actual good features like deep research or chain of thought, eh, not sure it’s a good choice

The models will also not be very powerful

This is basically a “if you don’t want your data to be used, run your own internet” comment

It’s just not doable for pretty much everyone

Why do you always expect them to be trolls or bots instead of real humans?

Plenty of people are racist and they’re not a deal breaker because they don’t brag about it all the time or don’t act

That’s just the reality

If you need to receive something for being kind of people, then you didn’t understand the principle.

You should be nice to people because you don’t want to make a society in which people are ass to each others, and because you know that’s the nice thing to do, not because you expect something in return

Being violent towards people for their opinions rarely goes well, it’s fucking dumb to do that

Maybe the payment processors lied?

They’re annoyingly only allowing open source repos and active forks etc…

Yea, but when you dig a bit, it’s all Google Play Store and Services, with a bit of Play Integrity on top

Battery saver is probably the most important step

But I’m surprised that the phone doesn’t have a powerful processor

I literally do not read any reply. I also delete most of my comments after a little bit.

This defeats a lot of purpose of lemmy

Already done! But it’s a bit annoying that it can’t be set to higher values if we want to

I believe Meta is worse than google with private data

At least Google makes something good out of it, sometimes, maybe

Meta and amazon don’t really bring us anything good
