I saw Generative AI for Beginners from Microsoft on GitHub. I’ve looked at https://fmhy.pages.dev/ai but I’m not sure what I’m really looking for.
I write fiction, and I want a chatbot that will function like chat gpt3.5, but not shut down if things get bloody or sexy, as they so often do.
You know ready, aim, fire? I’m in the AIM stage.
Check out the ai horde. https://aihorde.net or direct llm frontend at https://lite.koboldai.net. Free Foss crowdsourced with uncensored models that won’t ever be rugpulled
I ought to have known you’d have a good answer! Thank you!
LM Studio is one of the most user friendly ways to play around with LLMs imo. You can run some of the smaller models without too much memory (it will be slow without a decent GPU though).
Seconding LM Studio. It’s been my go to for a bit now.
I’ve been using GPT4All on my laptop and using mostly 7B models due to my RAM limitations and I am amazed how good some of them are.
It’s been really easy to use. There are models you can download from within the UI or you can get adventurous and download them from elsewhere, they just need to be in the .gguf format. I get most from TheBloke on hugging face.
So far my favourite has been solar-10.7B-instruct-v1.0-uncensored, it has been astonishingly good.
Why not use your own organic talents to write something like millions of other fanfiction writers…?
I’ve been doing that for 40+ years. I just want to try using AI as a partner to bounce ideas back and forth. As I explained in another post, I have trouble generating alternatives once I’ve created an Idea. It’s nice to have a means to get outside myself.
I intend to do the writing, it’s the planning and plotting I’m using AI for.
It’s not impossible
Whew, that guy has too much energy. He reminds me of the Minecraft videos my kids watch.
Slower.
Calmer.
Better.
He’s energized. You could watch at half speed 😅
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
You should probably hook up with the SillyTavern crowd. It’s a frontend to chat with LLMs that will do what you want. Its main purpose is chat role-play. You can assign a persona to the LLM and ST will handle the prompt to make it work. It also handles jailbreaks if you want to use one of the big ones (no idea if it works well). You can also connect to other services that run open models, including aihorde.

If you want to host your own model you can find more help here:
I would look into NovelAI for writing, it’s quite specifically for that. It’s a paid servicd similar to chatgpt, but it’s uncensored and private.
You can run your own lightweight LLM on a laptop but the output will be useless. Good output requires big boy compute.
If you do want to run it on your own hardware, look into Ollama. There’s also options to run your own LLM in the cloud with a not too difficult process for non-techies.
Frankly, id find the right LLM for your needs and just pay for it per month, maybe novelai, maybe something else, but chatgpt is not great for creative fiction.
