I felt rage baited when he crossed out Jakob Nielsen and promoted Ed Zitron (https://youtu.be/1fZTOjd_bOQt=1852). Bad AI is not good UI, but objecting based on AI being "not ethically trained" and "burning the planet" aren't great reasons.

From an economic standpoint those are both very good reasons, because:

1. Burning the planet on your servers is expensive, offloading it to a client-side LLM is not.

2. Ethics means risk means you won't be SOC compliant, your legal department will be mad, your users will be mad, etc.

The current status-quo of a few giant LLMs on supercomputers operated by OpenAI and Google is basically destined to fail, in my eyes. At least from a business standpoint. Consumer stuff might be different.
