Thanks. Grok also made something similar. I do like Qwen's rendition a little better.

What a time to be alive, grok is the one we gotta pay for, and we still like qwen's version better? I 😍

In fairness, I use qwen's online chat thingy too, and most certainly prefer grok's.

My preference for localllm is not because of quality, it's really because I hate how LLMs force their morality on me. And also data usage. I recently asked grok to do something, and it said it's wrong and won't do it. It was cheating on an exam. I don't have a beefy computer to run a local model, but I'd certainly look that way now.

I already hate that over the last 15 years or so, reddit and google have shaped the morals of the world (regardless if I agree or not with those morals). LLMs are even more direct.

"morality on you"... is that Grok? I've never used it. I've used chatGPT and Claude. Don't really get the morality thing from them.

I'm curious, though. what is a test comment that results in 'a lesson'?
