Inference is always getting cheaper, so my hope is that restrictions like this can go away in the future.

I totally understand giving it a 'B'. But I promise you that I came at this project with sincere hope that I can build something that brought more joy then it cost into this world.

I have it at home and I think it's worth the money. My 5 year old uses it and the recordings I got from it I will keep forever.

* Santa tried to end the conversation and she said 'no no no wait, one more present'

* It thought she wanted a llama instead of something else and she hysterically laughed. As she gets older I don't hear that as much, and it made me so happy.

I call bullshit on things all the time, so I get the cynicism. But give it a shot! Seeing kids role-play with LLMs and especially when they hallucinate is a lot of fun. Honestly as the software gets better I think it might not be as fun. It almost feels like the joy of using Linux during the editing your Xorg config days. The chaos is what you fall in love with?
