The “price” of a free offline speech to text AI model? Three of them, actually, to work with varying levels of compute resources available? You anti-AI folks are friggin’ ridiculous.

    Nothing AI is free. Unless there’s a chain of custody for all of the training data, it’s still unethical even if it’s used for a good thing. If I build a wheelchair ramp out of the flesh and bones for orphans I’m still not a very good person. And there are non-AI ways to accomplish this that are just as good that would require almost comically less resources. This attitude is why Ubuntu, and only Ubuntu, recommends a minimum of 6 GB of Ram btw. You can run a full KDE system with onboard graphics and all the bells and whistles for less than 2 GB on other distros.

    I admit I don’t know the details, but the title makes it seem like there is a “product” there, by a “company”, probably in it for the profit. And since there is a huge problem with datacenters as it is, why would we encourage more? Most of you AI enthousiasts are blindly walking us into a pit of regret.

    I don’t think it’s anti-AI more a lack of trust of services saying here’s a product…and the concern it will be used for ulterior motives. I know I don’t like my voice being captured.
