User finds unexpected enjoyment in slow AI model inference speeds

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit expresses a surprising appreciation for slow inference speeds when running AI models. They find that the extended processing times, which can take 20 minutes or more for a single task and an additional 30 minutes per search, create a more relaxed and deliberate user experience. This contrasts with the option of running models much faster on a dedicated gaming rig, suggesting a preference for a less immediate, more contemplative interaction with AI. AI

IMPACT Suggests a niche user preference for slower AI processing, contrasting with the industry trend towards faster inference.
