Google using ai, everyone hates it
Some upstart uses ai search, everyone is like woooowowow???
LLMs are not necessarily evil. This project seems to be free and open source, and it allows you to run everything locally. Obviously this doesn't solve everything (e.g., the environmental impact of training, systemic bias learned from datasets, usually the weights themselves are derived from questionably collected datasets), but it seems like it's worth keeping an eye on.
Because Google has a long history of doing the worst shit imaginable with technology immediately. Google (and other corporations) must be viewed with extra suspicion compared to any other group or individual because they are known to be the worst and most likely people to abuse technology.
Literally if Google does literally anything, it sucks by default and it's going to take a lot more proof to convince me otherwise for a given Google product. Same goes for Meta, Apple, and any other corporations.
The main complaints towards Google was LLM maturity, bias and other factors. The same things will be true for any LLM
