    Then be an activist. Never pay for AI, I don’t. Maybe 30 dollars a year for tools I can’t do without, but take everything for free. Make the unsustainability fall due to its own weight. That doesn’t mean I don’t use AI every day for work, spirituality, and learning. Take advantage of what you have available. Group think sucks.

        Not op, but i assume they just mean talking to an llm about spiritual topics. Especially local ai, if you pick a less censored model so it doesnt constantly spit refusals, they can hold conversations on difficult topics pretty well now. Whether that is politics, religion, law, finance, medicine, or roleplaying porn, doesnt really matter to the llm.

          This you?

          Never pay for AI, I don’t. Maybe 30 dollars a year for tools I can’t do without, but take everything for free.

          Maybe you were referring to non-AI tools, though the mention of that here would be unusual, so the most likely reading of this is that you were saying something like “I don’t pay for AI, except when I do”.

            I see where you’re coming from… When there is no way of doing something without AI I take on a job and pay peanuts for AI. I choose to earn money over not paying for AI. I can totally live without it, it’s just work is preferrable than a tantrum.
