--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> ---
To my understanding, Ollama is just a manager for various (open) LLMs. You
still access, for example, OpenAI with data from unknown sources.

Open Source advocates usually hesitate to accept these non-transparent,
resource hungry, and big tech related tools. On the other hand, this AI bubble
is "the next big thing" and Microsoft build all tools now around its Copilot.
Many users expect AI capabilities from software nowadays.

As usual we probably better start with use cases rather than hearsaying about
the blessing from new technologies.

#1 Eve wants to summarize the many pages she wrote about a specific topic to
create an introduction the thesis. 
#2 Eve wants to generate a couple of standard sentences on a common topic to
expand later on her own.
#3 Benjamin wants to chat with a bot while doing his homework to understand the
topic better. And to avoid searching the Internet manually.
#4 Benjamin wants to find a synonym for a word based specific for the whole
text and in a certain style.
#5 Benjamin wants to analyze a bunch of data but has no clue how to approach.
He expects the assistive function to kick him off with the work.
#6 Adrian wants to provide his colleagues with a LLM based on input in the
company that later is used to support the preparation of offers.

We probably can expand this for quite a while. But I guess it's clear that we
cannot reject all use cases.

My personal take is that we should not participate in the public LLM circus but
allow users to do so. Extensions are great for this purpose. Or we introduce
own LLMs, or something based on public data.
