what is the benefit of a discord bot using a local llm

[heaversm]

Hi - sorry for the naive question - I got this working and it's really cool - I'm trying to figure out what the benefit is of using a local llm (ollama) for a (non-local) discord channel. Can you shed some light on this?

I guess to share it with friends, I kinda built this bot as a hobby project and for no specific purpose, I never really intended it to get popular.
