I'm about as far from an AI fan as you're going to find, but there's numerous ways generative AI is being used by scientists (correctly) to train AI models to accelerate useful research by iterating through lots of possibilities to narrow them down for humans to look at

I get what you’re saying, but I think training an LLM locally on proprietary dataset is pretty far removed from what most people think of when discussing “AI.” I think the term itself is pretty meaningless and deceptive.
