I find it unlikely that someone might be on Lemmy and not be aware about the basics of how ““AI”” actually works.

That feels unnecessarily aggressive?

I don’t really use it because I don’t like it, so I haven’t bothered to read much about it. I tried some local stable diffusion image generation and it didn’t seem to strain my gaming computer much. I don’t have a power measuring device.

I tried stuff like Claude which I know is running remotely, and I assumed Gemini is remote since Google wouldn’t pass up a chance to exfiltrate more of my data.
