Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What (generative) AI tools are actually useful, and potentially worth paying for? (lemmy.ca)

There are so many out there, with varying benefits, risks, and ethics. I'd like to know what to recommend when asked, and also what I could use for myself.

Some areas that could be good for discussion:

Locally hosted models (both for low and high powered devices)
Open source models (also calling out "open source" models that aren't actually open source)
Privacy friendly tools/frontends (ex. DuckDuckGo's AI chat for anonymous use of some "free" models)
Unified interfaces for multiple models, or 'pay as you go' platforms instead of paying for individual subscriptions

I pay $20 for ChatGPT and it’s money well-spent

Depending on the features and intensity you use, you may save lots of money by self hosting openwebui and connecting to openai via their API.

You can also host openwebui directly on your local PC no need for a server.

Pay per token is much cheaper for me.

Nope, I’m sticking with money well spent thanks
