Llama 3.3 70B

[...]

Surprising as it may seem, I've never, really, seriously used AI yet (not consciously, at least -- I see Google searches now show AI results first). I don't have a ChatGPT (or other AI engine) account. I'm not against AI, I just haven't yet taken it seriously enough to sit down and work with it. I know friends and colleagues who rely on it for work. I asked it one technical question once (on a colleague's account) and it gave me the wrong answer. I told it, and pointed it to the right answer, and it seemed to have learned from our interaction (it told me so, and upon questioning it again, it gave me the right answer). That was ChatGPT on a free account.

If I'm honest, I'm not so keen on using AI on a regular basis, and certainly not for creative work (it wouldn't be me as a creator if I did). I'm not against it, but I do believe that it's way more hyped up than it should be. Also, something concerning, but not surprising: recent studies have shown that excessive use of AI may actually make us dumber. See the following article (not the one I originally read):

Llama 3.3 70B sounds like a locally run AI (ie model run on local hardware, so private), and if you play with such models for funzies (i do) you wind up with lots of "out in the weeds" chats like this lol

this one is actually DuckDuckGo's AI bot which I was testing out and I have to say it is a complete and utter FAIL!.
It is a med size (70b) model so there is that but i've found better ones in that range and have found better in the 33b range.

I think these companies are focusing on these things wasting peoples time and are focusing on tricking people into engagement with them rather than trying to make them actually useful tools. And I have to say the less enlightened are falling into the trap by the droves.
