## Overview

A clear trend is happening lately, a lot of users are moving away from heavily restricted models like chatgpt and claude toward uncensored or local models. Common reasons seem to be fewer refusals, better creative freedom, and privacy concerns. Has anyone else made the switch or considered it?   submitted by   /u/NoFilterGPT [link]   [comments]
