Imagine ChatGPT but instead of predicting text it just linked you to the to 3 documents most-influential on the probabilities that would have been used to predict that text.
Could even generate some info about which parts of each would have been combined how.
There would still be issues with how training data is sourced and filtered, but these could be solved by crawling normally respecting robots.txt and by paying filterers a fair wage with a more relaxed work schedule and mental health support.
The energy issues are mainly about wild future investment and wasteful query spam, not optimized present-day per-query usage.
Is this "just search?"
Yes, but it would have some advantages for a lot of use cases, mainly in synthesizing results across multiple documents and in leveraging a language model more fully to find relevant stuff.
When we talk about the harms of current corporate LLMs, the opportunity cost of NOT building things like this is part of that.
The equivalent for art would have been so amazing too! "Here are some artists that can do what you want, with examples pulled from their portfolios."
It would be a really cool coding assistant that I'd actually encourage my students to use (with some guidelines).

T2 Package Manager and Linux Distribution is out with a first preview of their revived desktop edition. Now, that's one to keep a very close look at. Excited about that one, it is an amazing project.

Whilst waiting for weather to clear would love to spend some time prepping Loops/peertube clips, editing together music, text etc with some very short videos I've shot (very roughly -> don't expect BBC style nature documentaries), while in the middle of fieldwork.
EDIT: I just discovered @… have added creator mode to the @… app! Awesome work - will test it out right now. If it works from #Antarctica, guess it will work anywhere?
What are your recommendations for easy lightweight ideally #FOSS apps for video editing on an android phone? Don't mind paying but privacy is essential...
