One thing, that scares me about modern AI algorythms is, just how fast were people to accept it being done on the cloud.
Have you guys learned nothing FFS? It is throwing us straight to the worst case scenario.
@Jens_Rasmussen
I mean you having no access to technologies outside of payed access to an API.
@Jens_Rasmussen
I mean, it is the worst case, because you will have only a single option to get the result you want, and that is to go to the ONE GUY with server, and BEG he doesn't filter the function you need out.
@LukeAlmighty That’s how it goes with this kind of thing. One or two products becomes the product, and while smaller alternatives might exist, they are in one way or another inferior.
It is inevitable when success requires improvement, improvement requires money and money requires success. Only very few products will make it into that cycle before making it impossible for others to enter it as well.
@Jens_Rasmussen
Yes, but I was talking about, how people unironically say, that a thing being a "browser application" is a huge plus.
@Jens_Rasmussen
> And most browser applications will also have offline versions
Well, not if everyone is ready to pay for server access. Especially for AI.
@LukeAlmighty I was thinking that the application that runs in a browser could be downloaded and stored locally, but I wouldn’t know very much about this since I am not a software guy, just know that it is like that for some applications.
@Jens_Rasmussen
Well, it cannot be downloaded. That's the entire point of that kind of software.
All you get is the UI, but after you send the request, all the computation is done on server without any possible way of you decoding it, and you get a result.
It does have advantages. For instance, Nvidia allows you to stream new games straight to your phone. There is no way, your phone could handle Hitman 3, but you can play it now. But it also means, that your phone doesn't know anything about the game except for, what to show on the screen.
It's the ultimate DRM.
And most browser applications will also have offline versions, won't they?
