      He consistently describes LLMs as “bullshit generators” so the LLM being local doesn’t help that much. It’s better for privacy but that’s a separate matter.

        stallman has always been flowery with his language and to be fair they can be bullshit generators. I doubt he sees no value in them but I have not really heard any of his talks on them.

            yeah im seeing what was my estimation of what his opinion would be. Take this for example:

            " I agree that bullshit summaries (as they are now) are a bad thing, partly because they are made by programs which are not intelligent, so they are often confused and misrepresent what the site really says."

            as they stand now would suggest they have some sort of promise. Mostly what I see is him railing against treating their output as intelligent when summarizing and that they lack understanding of their output because. well. they are not intelligent. I fully agree with him here.
