Every once in a while I see these hypes in HN.

Over the last few years it was crypto, NFT and blockchain.

This AI hype seems different. I see some things which are useful, some of which I can even run on my system.

More importantly, I see many more interesting if irrelevant things. I remember the early days of the web also had this kind of a feel.

So , I'm excited. And it feels good to see this kind of excitement in others.

Suddenly, there seems to be a whole new universe to explore again.

I guess my answer is 'no'!

I actually agree with that. I have similar "new frontier" feelings. Which is why I find the dross "I asked AI to..." posts so annoying. It's akin to when smartphones became a thing and opened up all those possibilities for carrying innovative applications & functionlity in your pocket.

And then the app stores filled up with "Fart Apps".

What are some things can be run locally in your opinion? I'm interested in learning more but am wary about how much of this is being gated inside every bigco's walled gardens.
