Limitless Bad Advice confronts our contemporary faith in artificial intelligence by leaning into the dubious nature of its advisory capacity. Rather than offering solutions, this piece provides deliberately flawed counsel on three aspects of human existence: desire, creative expression, and finance. The device feeds a compulsive need for guidance while acknowledging the challenge of authentic advice from systems incapable of genuine understanding.
Operating on local infrastructure via a Raspberry Pi running Google's Gemma model through Ollama, it deliberately abstains from the vast networked intelligence of cloud-based systems. This technological isolation serves both practical and conceptual purposes: greatly reducing environmental impact while creating a closed system that can only recombine its limited training data in increasingly absurd configurations.
Step up and press a button, this device has got Limitless Bad Advice for you.
