Brother all of this upcoming AI integration in Windows opens a whole new era of siphoning off valuable user data, that little stable diffusion on MS Paint there could be written off as a small PR and marketing position. In any case it runs locally.
I am probably more privacy oriented than the next guy, and I’m just not really seeing the pitch here.
EDIT: I mean, you don't need to look far to see this effect; see e.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40447474.
Also, if DALL-E is anything like Stable Diffusion, it's effectively free to run. For comparison, my 5+ years old machine that I recently put a 4070 Ti in, can generate images with SD all day long without breaking sweat, and does it faster than even paid on-line services I've interacted with so far. That same machine chokes on any LLM above 8-10 billion parameters; it can handle that much with full GPU offload, but try anything larger and it becomes just an elaborate space heater.
(I tried running 8x7b Mixtral on it once, and managed to OOM and crash the system :/).
They say it’s all local. Maybe that’s true. Maybe for now. Will it be forever? Is the recall local, but insights are collected? Time will tell. I certainly won’t be signing up to be part of the experiment.
LLMs need lots of input
If that was true, there would be a free laptop by now.
