Until that same AI starts shilling ads and certain viewpoints peddled by their owners in the output... This will happen 100% (ads, the other bit has already happened). The economics of all of these models doesn't work as is. There will be a major squeeze down the line.

Some of us have dipped our toes in local LLMs. To be sure, the ones I can run on my hardware always pale when compared to the online ones. But perhaps in time the ones you can run locally will be good enough.

Or perhaps an Apple or Kagi will host an LLM with no built-in monetization skewing its answers.

you csn run the model, but someone with vastly bigger resources need to train it.

Sure. Hopefully decent pre-ad-injected models will still be around.
