Part of the answer to this conundrum might be the "lightswitch effect": Lightswitches are ubiquitous and easy to use, so you stop thinking about them, take them completely for granted and miss the bigger picture that even 150 years ago, this would have been considered not a small technical miracle! LLMs seem to fall squarely into that category - the threshold to using them is incredibly low because you can "just talk to them" and they give back meaningful answers loaded with the sum total of human knowledge from the interwebs. |

The reason why it's so cool now, is because we can run good models on our own machines now. That's really what makes it a hackable technology in my head. Calling an API is just another product.. Does that make sense to you?
