It’s what I’ve been using since the early 2000’s. Whatever laptop I can get for free with boring Linux. I teach all my classes across multiple establishments with it. Battery still lasts over 9 hours. Beats the Raspberry Pi I used as a computer for 6 months!

I do have a colleague that installed one of the LLMs on their computer to play around with translation and live subtitles, and another who claims ChatGPT taught him French. Maybe there is something to it, but I draw the line at using AI because, as I said, I forbid it in my classes.

I have a 10-year old laptop with integrated graphics running Debian Stable, so I don’t think I’ll be using a local LLM any time soon haha. I tell my students I don’t want them to use any of these tools so I don’t use them either.

OpenAI doesn’t really have a product in the business sense, which is the fraud and why I compare him to Holmes. But I get what you mean.

Couldn’t tell you, I’ve never used any of them.

I am an ESL teacher. Generative AI is making things complicated for us, but it cannot replace learning the language. Right now, things like ChatGPT are presented as some sort of solution, but it is so far off and sometimes too obvious.

Like you mentioned, you think and reason differently in different languages. Plus, some people just love learning languages.

Aside: I am of the opinion that OpenAI and ChatGPT will disappear within 2 to 3 years. Their investors will abandon them leaving them drowning in debt, Sam Altman will face the same fate as Elizabeth Holmes. At some point his grift of asking for more money, hardware, electricity, water, etc., will be revealed.

Merci, super intérressant. J’aime les jeux vidéos mais je ne suis pas gamer à fond donc j’ignorais l’existence de cette haine.

Had a random desktop from a mall computer shop that ran Windows ME!

Before that we had some 486 machines with 40MB HDD and Windows 3.5 and IBM DOS…

My first computer that was mine though was a Dell D610 I believe. Lasted 8 years.

You could use something like ublacklist to filter them from your search results

Je suis prof d’anglais (anglophone) et quand j’ai un étudiant qui parle super bien je demande toujours s’ils ont de la famille anglophone. Alors je peux imaginer que ça peut arriver.

Quand je suis arrivé en France j’avais l’accent québécois car mes profs étaient québécois et acadiens. On refusait de croire que je suis anglophone.

Maintenant j’ai un accent anglophone pourri parce que je parle anglais tous les jours et on ne me croit pas que je viens du Canada car je n’ai pas l’accent canadien.
