In these days of artificial intelligence, writes Ted Curran, "it's even more important to have a private repository of knowledge you trust under your own personal control." Unsurprisingly, I agree. "Rather than being trained on a vast dataset of random sites across the web, you can train a model based only on your own writing and personal documents that you've saved in a specific repository. This enables you to reap the benefits of AI chatbots while limiting the focus to only the documents you're interested in." That's similar to what I would like to do with my own work from over the years.
