If you select a gpt4all model like GPT-J can this be used commercially or is there other dependency that limits the license?

What's the point of the technology if it will provide an answer regardless of the accuracy? And what prevents this from being dangerous when the factual and ficticious answers are indistinguishable?
Yes, it could be dangerous if you blindly rely on its reliability for something safety-related. But many creative processes are unreliable. For example, coming up with bad ideas while brainstorming is pretty harmless if nobody misunderstands it. Generally, you want some external way of verifying that you have something useful. Sometimes that happens naturally. Ask a chatbot to recommend a paper to read and then searc…
What happens when the tech isn't only being used to answer a human's questions during a shortlived conversation though?
The common case we see publicized today is people poking around with prompts, but isn't it more likely, or at least a risk, that mass adoption will look more like AI running as longlived processes talked with managing done system on their own?

A less anthropomorphic approach might be to say that LLMs can predict the correct “shape” of an answer even when they don’t have data that gives them a clear right answer for the correct content, and since their basic design is to provide the best response they can, they’ll provide an answer of the correct shape with fairly random content if all they have good information to predict is the shape and not the content.

for one, telling people something they like to hear is an amazing marketing tactic

#25> Put any and all your files into the source_documents directory
Why? Why can't I define any directory (my existing Obsidian vault, for example) as the source directory?

You can by setting an environment variable - https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT/blob/main/ingest.py#...

#27For some reason, downloading the model they suggest keeps failing. I tried to download it in Firefox and Edge. I'm using Windows, if that matters. Anyone else seeing similar issues?

Not if they're bad at it. ChatGPT and friends is a tool that's useful for some things and that's where it'll see adoption. Misuses if the technology will likely be exposed as such pretty quickly.

If you mean the "If you don't know" part, oh no, they have a much bigger problem they're solving. The LLM will absolutely lie if it doesn't know and you haven't made it perfectly clear that you'd rather it did not do that. LLMs seem to be trying to give answers that make you happy. A good lie will make you happy. Unless it understands that you will not be happy with a lie. Is this anthropomorphizing? Yep. But that's…

those things are anthropomorphic by design. there's no point in being cautious, unless it's from an ideological stand point
