Install an AI Chatbot on your computer -- no Internet required

Click here for an article at How-To Geek, by Nick Lewis, entitled "Run Your Own AI Chatbot at Home Using NVIDIA Chat With RTX." It says:

It's a lot like ChatGPT, except it runs locally on your own PC, with no need for an Internet connection. It is fast, efficient, and can even learn from documents you provide or YouTube videos. Here's how to get it running on your PC. 

You have to download and install the files from NVIDIA. Requirements:

  • A 30 series or 40 series RTX (NVIDIA) graphics card with at least 8GB of RAM
  • About 50 gigabytes of free storage space
  • 16GB of system RAM
  • A Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC 
A problem that seems to be inherent with AI chatbots:

Chat with RTX, regardless of which model you use, has the same problem that all AI Chatbots do: it hallucinates. If it doesn't know something, it will usually confidently declare an answer anyway.

When given the prompt "Who is John Wayne," Chat with RTX happily told me when he was born and when he died, what genre he was known for, and his iconic roles in "The Duke of Hazzard," "True Grit," and "Read Dead Outlaw."
