You're right. Getting a 24B model locally isn't going to be as powerful as a 600B model, for sure. You're also right thar they don't think. They absolutely don't.
But the local ones are pretty powerful and can do a lot more than most think. Even some simple vibe coding can be done with local AI. I think for the average gamer type if they wanted to mess with it local is more than enough tbh.
To be fair, local is better in many ways than cloud solutions, it keeps the data private, and does not lock into a vendor (which they desperately want). Also Lora is an option for finetuneing, but thats way advanced for an average user.
