I haven’t been getting downvoted as much as I used to these days, at least. I think more people have started to actually experiment with AI and see what it’s good at, and are finding it to be not the Great Satan that popular opinion paints it as.
For sure, the popular opinion on reddit/Lemmy skews towards absolutely self-hosting everything they can, and multi-trillion dollar tech companies controlling AI skews the opinions of the technology negative. I have a BIL who runs self-hosted AI though (requiring 2 x 4090s in series for his use-case), so it can be done. The tech is only as shit as the user allows it to be (environmental concerns, obviously its pretty objectively shit)
