This raises huge red flags for privacy. Presumably OpenAI keeps full logs of every interaction with ChatGPT / GPT-3, but this isn't self-evident when you're using them. And it feels intimate--it feels like you're talking to a person--and that builds trust. To say nothing of applications like therapy, or personal coaching...

This makes me feel that open-source LLMs that can be estimated efficiently, and run on local hardware, is an urgent need. Otherwise we will live in a cyberpunk dystopia with a centralized company that knows everything about you.

I hope (naively?) that we never have a world with actual LLM therapy.

It’s really quite expensive otherwise, but considering Alexa et al aren’t truly on device yet, and LLM are much more complex… it’ll be a while.

I couldn't agree more, but I feel so defeated with the already egregious violations of privacy that pervade bleeding edge and big tech companies. What's there to be done?
