Nice, could be me (I didn’t leave a post on reddit though). I just left US sites in favor of this movement. So far, I like Lemmy.

Hell yeah, I was using gpt regularly, and having a french alternative was really uplifting news. First tryouts were pretty much showing that it’s capable of everything I need.

Exactly, developers can’t just come up with a complete database of all products in existence and where they come from, whereas LLMs are already trained on basically all data that is available on the Internet, with additional capabilities to browse the web if necessary. This is a reasonable approach.
