This looks really cool! Is it down voted because people hate ChatGPT or what?
Yes, I’ve noticed that even here (on Lemmy), there’s been some kind of unfounded downvote culture emerging. I’m not saying it’s unfounded in this case, btw. Of course, not everything is to everyone’s taste, but generally, there are plenty of downvotes on very high-quality and relevant content. I remember when downvotes were a great way to quickly filter out low-quality content. But now, I’m not so sure.
It seems a bit “lame” that a plugin for a project “fails” if it’s not inherently bad, but the project itself is disliked by someone, but okay, it is what it is.
By the way, thanks if you think this is cool. I would definitely love to hear your opinion if you decide to try the extension eventually.
Correct, ChatGPT is proprietary spyware.
If the interface would support self hosted (local/offline) LLMs, then I’m sure people would be much more interested.
I get that, but OP clearly put a lot of effort into this in a good faith, made it open source, and now when he posts it here, he gets downvoted without any comment (as of when I wrote mine) with reasoning behind it.
The thing is I literally said at the very beginning of the post:
that someone who isn’t interested in or doesn’t use ChatGPT shouldn’t waste their time and shouldn’t read further.
It’s still very difficult to find an adequate Lemmy communities for posting such things. Although GPThemes is FOSS, I didn’t consider it appropriate to post on a foss-focused communites because I’m aware that it operates on a closed platform and assumed that people wouldn’t like that. I thought ‘programming’ would be an okay place for this, but it seems I misjudged.
And thank you @stepan@lemmy.cafe for your attempt to get to the heart of the matter.
Who wouldn’t want to afford a PC setup and components that would support local LLMs, there are so many benefits to that.
But the reality is that even when I start Docker, my poor PC turns into a smoker 🥲
tbh i don’t think the theme in rhe screenshot is an improvement, all that excessive padding doesn’t look that great
