Local AI user asks: why does everyone enjoy taming the beast of complexity?
kathi7 · reddit · 2026-10-03
A local AI user on Reddit vents that the community feels like lion tamers who enjoy the struggle: every new model means learning new workflows, nodes, and settings. Using someone else's template defeats the purpose, while the alternative is tiny one-button apps. They argue there should be something in between—local AI as simple to install as online AI but still fully capable—and wonder if they're just doing local AI wrong.
