One difference between "AI chatbots" in this context and common flight simulator games is that someone else is listening in and has the actual control over the simulation. You're not alone in the same way that you are when pining over a character in a television series or books, or crashing a virtual jumbo jet into a skyscraper in MICROS~1 Flight Simulator.

You are aware that you can, in fact, run models on your own, fully airgapped machine, right? Ollama exists.

The fact that most people chose not to is no argument for 'mandatory' surveillance, just a laissez-faire attitude towards it.

Yes. I have never connected to any of the SaaS-models and only use Nx/Bumblebee and sometimes Ollama.

In this context it's not about people like me.

Good for you!

Now ... why you want to police the decisions others make (or chose not to make) with their data ... it has a slightly paternalistic aspect to it, wouldn't you agree?
