In this situation, individuals, companies, or small groups don’t need to wait for large capital or enterprises to train AI to their specifications. They can download many small models and train them themselves. Previously, the main issue was that only large mainframes computed fast enough—on small computers, you’d have to wait longer for answers. But now we’ve found that small models on ordinary computers are fast enough. For instance, there are “diffusion” models that don’t need to generate text one character at a time—they can quickly write an entire article and then refine it according to your needs. So it’s not like before, where long text meant long waiting times. You can quickly get a first draft and then—according to your needs—make it more suitable for your society, community, or culture.
