So if you suspect I am using this for business related purposes you may take any action you want to spy on me? Such Terms. Very Use.

It's a standard clause for most apps. If a breach of the terms of conditions (such as using it for commercial purposes, like selling the software), they are allowed to launch an investigation. No where does this mention "spying" on modifying the app for such use.

Thats why as a business i would rather use a trusted FOSS LLm interface like textgeneration-WEBUI https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui

This app could use some simple UI improvements:

- The chatbox field has a normal "write here" state, when no chat is really selected. I thought my keyboard broke until I discovered that

- I didn't find a way to set cuda acceleration before loading a model, only managed to set gpu offloaded layers and using "relaunch to apply"

- Some HugginFace models are simply not listed and there's no indication about why. I guess models are really curated, but somehow presented as a HuggingFace browser?

- Scrolling in the accordion parts of the interface seems to be responding to mouse wheel scroll only. I have a mouse with a damaged one and couldn't find a way to reliably navigate to bottom drawers

That said, I really liked the server tab, which allowed for initial debugging very easily

Maybe the app is already modified for such use and just needs to be given a "start spying" command.
