I also think that our next discussion should distinguish between locally 
running LLMs and cloud LLMs. The way things are going, locally running 
LLMs will be an alternative, and then you can much better control what 
was the training data and the Freeness of the thing.

Being the proponent of the winning option, I am of course happy with 
this outcome, but I regret the loss of contributors (which would have 
happened with either option winnign). It is just too early to take a 
final decision on the mater. Let's revisit this in two years or so, and 
let this mess of a GR be a warning for our future selves.
