Nearly nobody is arguing against using AI for personal fun.
People are arguing against AI destroying entire career segments without providing benefit to society, especially to those displaced. People are arguing against how it so easily misleads people, especially when used as a learning aid. People are arguing against the enormous resource usage.
There's also the fact that it's an ecological disaster when it comes to both carbon emissions and using up potable water.
That's why, its always good to run them locally(if you use them for fun)
That's almost certainly more wasteful. The machines they run them on are going to be far more efficient.
Running it locally is better because of all the other data mining that goes along with capitalism
But usually you don't cool your PC with Freshwater. That's something a lot of datacenters do.
That's true.
But in terms of power/emissions, data centers are far far better. The waste of potable water could be addressed if we make them, but the inefficiency of running locally cannot be.
I still prefer to run locally anyways, because fuck the kind of people who are trying to sell AI, but it is absolutely more inherently wasteful
A GPT-4 level language model and current Flux dev can easily run on a standard M3 MacBook Air via ggml.
My father in law told me how a guy at work created several pictures with AI for decorating the floor, bragging about saving costs since he didn't use licensed pictures. But the AI may have used licensed pictures to learn creating those images. Artists lose money due to this being done by companies, which could very well afford paying the artists. I guess a private person creating memes with AI is not threatening anyone to lose their job.
Is there any free AI for personal use?
You can run Stable Diffusion locally on your PC.
I don't know how to set that up, is there a guide?
You can try running Automatic 111 Webui(https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui )
That is a 404.
Now it works
There is, and that's typically less bad, but it still has ethical issues with how it was trained.
Yes, many. It depends on what you are looking for (image generation, text generation, text to speech, speech to text, etc) and what hardware you have.
