There's a fair chance we'll see (or actually don't see) a lot more offline use. AI apps are coming to desktop PCs and phones and it means in the long run people don't have to get some entertaining stuff from the web any more. Like if you want to a cool pic of a dragon for a wallpaper, you can just ask the AI app on your PC and it will make a bunch to choose from.

What's out there that actually works offline? Stable Diffusion is the only one I've heard about, everyone else is more interested in exclusively selling AI as a service.

Llama etc, reduced ChatGPT models. Never tried them but they're out there. There's also plenty of support stuff that may or may not be interesting, e.g. turning images into depth maps in case you don't have enough angles for actual photogrammetry. controlnet-aux for comfyui has a good selection of that analysis stuff.
