The “price” of a free offline speech to text AI model? Three of them, actually, to work with varying levels of compute resources available?
You anti-AI folks are friggin’ ridiculous.
I don’t think it’s anti-AI more a lack of trust of services saying here’s a product…and the concern it will be used for ulterior motives. I know I don’t like my voice being captured.
What do you think are the ulterior motives behind this GPLv3 licensed app? I think the ulterior motive is getting better accessibility tools so it’s easier to convince governments to use Ubuntu (and likely pay for extended support).
I’m not sure but I’m done believing that tech enhancements pushed at me benefit me.
That response, especially given that this is something that’s entirely offline and optional, is probably the closest we’re going to get to you admitting that you just want to be negative about this rather than actually having a criticism of it.
I agree. I have spent years in tech. And I have worked trusted and advocated but in the last 5 years or so it’s changed. And I trust little of it. It’s not the tech, it’s the people it’s in the hands of. I am at the point of cynic now and I’ll stay on that side until I see otherwise. Is that wrong?
I’m just making it clear that you don’t have any actual criticisms of this application and haven’t addressed it when people point out that:
You’re welcome to remain belligerent. I’m not here to change your mind.
Nothing AI is free. Unless there’s a chain of custody for all of the training data, it’s still unethical even if it’s used for a good thing. If I build a wheelchair ramp out of the flesh and bones of orphans I’m still not a very good person. And there are non-AI ways to accomplish this that are just as good that would require almost comically less resources.
This attitude is why Ubuntu, and only Ubuntu, recommends a minimum of 6 GB of Ram btw. You can run a full KDE system with onboard graphics and all the bells and whistles for less than 2 GB on other distros.
Comparing copyright, a bullshit concept that was designed only to protect the rich, to building with “the flesh and bones of orphans” is so extreme that it’s not even worth arguing about.
Being pro-AI is the same as being pro-capitalist, and thus pro-orphan crushing machine.
Having your work stolen so that a soulless faceless corporate entity can charge teenagers to recreate it at will and pretend they have any talent or capability whatsoever is pretty shitty, and defending it is anti-proletariat.
You know you can use AI yourself too right? There’s no need to be anti-AI when you can be anti-OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/etc.
Wow you mean I too can burn electricity while stealing artist’s work so I can pretend to be an artist?! Wow mommy we can be homegrown douchebags these days!
You’re projecting human faults to AI. Pretending to be an artist when you’re just a prompter is a human fault. And there are plenty other applications which burn more electricity than a few AI prompts per day burn. “Stealing” artists’ works doesn’t matter because intellectual property is a meaningless concept.
