I have a complicated relationship with AI. On one hand, the speed at which it's progressing at is causing catastrophic damage to our home planet, mostly due to decisions made by tech billionaires to profit as much and quickly as possible.

But on the other hand, it allows for accessibility achievements decades ahead of its time. It allows anybody to learn anything with any learning style at any time. I personally have a problem understanding information if I can't visualize it. I can ask the computer follow up questions.

If used properly, AI as a tool, can lead to productivity boosts and allows greater personal control over FOSS. Don't like your music player? Change it yourself. This has always been true with FOSS but the accessibility leap is huge.

At the end of the day, I hope that we can start focusing more resources on efficiency of these models rather than trying to expand them at /any/ cost. At some point the bubble will pop and the growth will hopefully halt. If the money isn't there anymore, maybe the planet harming won't be either.
