I wanted a privacy preserving AI chat bot since I didn&#x27;t feel comfortable about putting personal issues into ChatGPT. It uses webllm models to run in the browser. Make your own chat by saving a message.<p>Disclaimer: I&#x27;m the creator of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hony.ai" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hony.ai</a> that was used to build this demo.

&gt; Error: Cannot find WebGPU in the environment - Updating your browser might resolve the issue!<p>Using Firefox ESR 115 under Debian (testing). dom.webgpu.enabled is false by default. Enabling it results in:<p>&gt; NotSupportedError: WebGPU is not yet available in Release or Beta builds. - Updating your browser might resolve the issue!<p>May I ask why it&#x27;s required?

Sci-Fi has a lot of &#x27;brain in a box&#x27; stories - a personal consciousness is preserved in a computer, stasis box, etc etc.<p>It feels like we&#x27;re almost at the point where we can simulate a brain in a box to an external observer, but without preserving consciousness.<p>I wonder if you would want to be preserved this way? As a kind of zombie intelligence.

I haven&#x27;t read any Marucs Aurelius, so my impression might be off, but the way the AI speaks feels... I don&#x27;t know, like a British person, or some American from an older time? It keeps saying &quot;my dear&quot; which feels very incorrect. I studied Latin in school, so maybe I&#x27;m more used to the translationese and odd grammar you see with that (like here - although this is also an older translation so you get some of that older english vibe <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gutenberg.org&#x2F;cache&#x2F;epub&#x2F;2680&#x2F;pg2680-images.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gutenberg.org&#x2F;cache&#x2F;epub&#x2F;2680&#x2F;pg2680-images.html</a>)<p>I&#x27;m guessing this was trained on a certain translation of his works, but I think part of the fun of speaking to a bot would be to replicate that sort of language barrier feeling.

Doesn&#x27;t work in Firefox-on-Windows, but <i>does</i> give results in Edge. <i>Less than impressive</i> results, mind you, but results nonetheless...<p>AI-Garbage: As Marcus Aurelius, I must say that... &lt;snip&gt;<p>Me: Ehm, why do you speak modern-ish English? Aren&#x27;t you supposed to be ancient Greek or Roman, or whatever?<p>AI-Garbage: Ah, a most excellent question, my dear &lt;snip&gt; I find that the ancient tongues of Greek and Latin are most excellent &lt;snip&gt; I must admit that I find the modern languages of today to be most useful for, well, communicating with the people of today! &lt;snip&gt;<p>Me: Ah les langues modernes, je les aime aussi! Mais pourquoi insistes-tu pour m’appeler &quot;chéri&quot;? Cela ressemble à un interrogatoire garanti par les RH, non?<p>AI-Garbage: Ah, bonjour there, young linguist! &lt;snip&gt; I must apologize for any confusion regarding the term &quot;chéri.&quot; &lt;snip&gt; Please, my dear, do feel free to address me in any manner that you see fit &lt;snip&gt;<p>Me: Richtig! Aber was jetzt, Schwanzgesicht?<p>AI-garbage: — Ah, I see! &lt;snip&gt; I must inform you that this term is not a word that I am familiar with &lt;snip&gt; I am always here to assist you in any way possible, while always being mindful of your comfort and consent.<p>Ah, okay, so it <i>does</i> seem to be familiar with the term after all! In any case, I don&#x27;t think this is a particularly, eh, convincing demonstration of <i>AI will take all of our jobs in the next decade</i>, but anyway...

Good to note it uses webgpu, so no mobile, and only nightly firefox. Sounds like a cool idea though, I&#x27;ll check it out at some point.
