    ChatGPT also monetized every bit of the private personal data, and is using it for advertising now.

    Offline and Open Source AI can be connected to a database like PubMed and can do medical searches too. I’m only aware of the developer API stuff described in Langchain documentation I skimmed past. I don’t know about completed FOSS apps for end users. Imagine if we lived in a neo digital feudalistic dystopia where your health is determined by your corporate feudal lord and their existence is based on monetizing you.

    All AI should be legally required to be fully transparent with all software open source. It is the only way to secure the future. AI is like the internet, it is the framework of our digital future; it is not the product. The internet does not run on the proprietary framework from companies that tried to monopolize it like Sun Micro. It runs on open source software like Apache. AI must follow this same path. It is the only way for freedom, citizenship, independence, and identity. The alternative is a new age of feudalism and slavery. It started with selling your privacy to the ads Internet. Now you don’t own or control your devices, cars, and rent your life from subscription services. The only difference between a feudal serf and a democratic citizen is the right of ownership. Losing this right to blind trust is losing 1000 years of sociopolitical progress. Feudal serfs moved onto land protected by a central authority and gave up their land ownership for rent. They were squeezed until they couldn’t even afford their own tools and rented these too. They gave up their independence to blind trust in an authority. The authority normalized and eventually enslaved the people to the land they worked. HISTORY RHYTHMS!!! Don’t be stupid. It is happening again.
