At present questions I am asking are "Is AI JUST this year's IT Bonus
Buzzword Bingo Word?" and "A year from now, will everyone have
forgotten about AI having moved on to <<some other buzzword>>?". I
don't know the answers to these questions. What I do know is that
Llama 2 seems to be the best option available at present to start
poking at those questions and that as soon as a better option (less
restrictive licence) becomes available I'll move on. With Llama 2 I
can just download the software, install it and go. I don't have to
provide a megacorporation any personal information such as a phone #,
I don't have to depend on software on the cloud. I can run it on
hardware of low enough cost that if something "bad" happens to the
hardware I will be saddened, but I will not be heartbroken.

Colin.
