Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Well, chat.openai.com is down today. I've been using it quite a bit recently, mainly to ask questions about physics and history but also for some low level work help - it's great for fire-once functions I can easily describe.

I don't really want to use microsoft's - the privacy policy and forced "free" feature make it seem dubious. I'd rather pay and have limited control over the data.

Are there any other options of a similar quality?

just said too much load for a while, I'm sure it's back up I was just wondering if there were alternatives.

it's likely they won't stay ahead of the curve for long given the number of people leaving the company.

Ah ok. Gotcha. You may want to look into hosting your own LLM. As long it's just for text, you don't need crazy resources. I'm not talking about hosting a front end to ChatGPT. I'm talking about hosting the backend. It won't be as good or as fast, but it'll basically only go down if you take it down.

Poe.com if you can stand the excessive censoring. It once refused to review a short story without the author's consent. I had to reassure it that I was indeed the author.

How did you function before someone else's computer googled things for you? Do that again...
