I am one of the (many) owned of the Raspberry pi, and I love it. Just one question, what should I do with it? I am thinking of starting a server on it, or maybe creating a ChatGPT-like chatbot on it. Any project you have done, and recommend? I use a Raspberry PI 400, in case you need to know.

What does a raspberry pi do?

Its a basic single-board computer.

This is a good online magazine about the rpi, and you can get it for free on the rpi, just click on the main menu, hover over a menu called something like “Help” and there will be an option there to open a windows where you can read it. It has loads of stuff to do with your rpi.

i have one, it is a credit card sized linux machine. it can also run windows.

You could install LibreELEC on it and run a media center (smart tv ez!) I used the Pluto.TV PVR client and the TVHeadend PVR client to turn mine into a center to watch movies and shows with a USB TV tuner connected to a computer I have running a TVH server. With a TVH server you can download the Kodi app on any device and watch and record local tv over your WiFi!

Sorry if this was confusing

I once tried to make something similar. I tried to make a wordpress website, but for some reason I wasn't allowed onto there.

make GPT there but limited (to be safe with scratch's guidelines)
and make the website however you want! (not giving tips because it's your turn).

Just try some fun hardware stuff with a M2M USB cable and your own computer. You can create neat macros, clickers and more that way.

You guys are gonna go through hell and back if you try to run any GPT model on an RPi.

I'm just one person, not a group of people.

OP said they want to do that too. RPis don't even have a GPU, so that's not viable in the slightest, and the RAM it has is not good enough.

it'd still be horrible because of the 1gb memory. gpt is designed to run on GPU so I'm not sure that'd even work in the first place

You could start by hosting your very own web server. The raspberry pi's operating system is debian-based so you could probably install the apache2 package and it'll start working immediately. It'll probably be hosted at http://localhost:8080. Then go to /var/www and start editing the html.

Note that such web servers are used for static file hosting, not entire backends
Also Nginx is much better

apache is quicker (and easier) to setup and works out of the box with little to no configuration.

Ngnix is like 2.5x faster though

Its a basic single-board computer.

Won't it get hot though? Cause there's no cooling fan.

They usually don’t get to hot, but if they do, you can bring in your own fan.
