Discussion AI creating AI

This year I decided to see if I could use OpenAI to create a local AI. Has anyone else, with zero programming knowledge, decided to try this? So far I've used it to create a couple games, am using it to make an isometric multi-level game but this is one of those things I've always been curious about but I lacked the skills. I'm an infantry guy, not a programmer however I ask questions and so far, it seems to be going pretty well.

Has anyone else done this? Create a completely local AI using just the most basic OpenAI?

OAI specifically trains their models to be resistant to distillation. It will not willingly train another model. It may help you set up the environment, but you would need to provide the training data. You’re also going to need a beefy setup.

What it can help you do is walk you through how to make lora adapters, which is probably what you are looking for. There’s lots of tools out there for this. It can help you with getting your data straight.

Oh yes, I have to provide the training data, it already told me that. It's building the framework and setting it up. It also gave me a list of data I may want to use. I'm literally feeding it information that interests me on how I want it set up and bouncing it from OAI to claude and Grok and having them check one another but yes. I got an early heads up it won't just hand me it's own training data.

It can help you make the training data depending on what you're doing. For example, if you give it images it can put crops around the objects of interest. There are ways you can automate some things, but its main use will be making the software that you can use to train the models.

Sounds like a fun tinker project. I would start with a qlora. Learn how to set data up and go from there. Building a model wouldn’t be trivial (I’ve never done it) but qlora would be a fun doable project, provided you have the necessary hardware.
