I honestly forgot that i also put a question about training cost; by the question i meant when i asked about uses for ai, i didnt realize i made it unclear whether it was a question or not

I dont think a model that you have said is bad for the environment is a good example

Regarding the first sentence, i have said that this seems like a generic reply because i have not said that llms are the worst thing ever (even saying that their uses could offset the downsides) or that they do not have uses (“AI is just a tool” is also an argument i see so often, never with any explanation behind)

For such impressive technology, i doubt the best use of it is a better search engine that you have to fact check or writing help
I have seen someone use a local model to control home assistant
