It seems to me that some important distinctions are being blurred throughout this thread. I am seeing the term AI used to refer to three things:
(1) generally, any kind of computation or problem solving that involves computer programming;
(2) computation that involves inferences and rules (e.g., a prolog program)
(3) using LLM, i.e., "the use of large neural networks for language modeling" (wikipedia definition).
Activities (1) and (2) are things that I can do on my own computer, maybe even without having to leave Elisp or the running, single Emacs thread. For activity (3), even I can do it without the help of remote compute cluster, it is going to require a large model database, plus intense computing resources, like a separate computer, or an expensive GPU requiring proprietary drivers.
I'm open minded to integrations of (3), if they can be done cost-effectively, if they are truly useful, and if I don't have to give up my computing freedoms, but that has to be proven to me. And I don't want that approach confused with (1) and (2).
