I guess it depends how you define what an "ai bro" is. I would define them as the front men of startups with VC funding who like to use big buzz words and will try to milk as much money as they can.

These types of people don't care about power efficiency or freedom at all unless they can profit off of it.

But if you just mean anyone that uses a model at home then yeah you might be right. But I'm not understanding all the harsh wording around someone running a model locally.
