Depending on what you want to do though.

If I want some help coding or ideas about playlists, Gemini and ChatGPT are fine.

But when I'm writing a novel about an assassin with an AI assistant and the public model keeps admonishing me that killing people is bad and he should seek help for his tendencies, it's a LOT faster to just use an uncensored local LLM.

Or when I want to create some people faces for my RPG campaign and the online generator keeps telling me my 200+ word prompt is VERBOTEN. And finally I figure out that "nude lipstick" is somehow bad.

Again, it's faster to feed all this to a local model and just get it done overnight than fight against puritanised AIs.
