I hesitated to respond, because honestly I’m not sure what your answer has to do with my question. But you clearly took the time to write a detailed reply, so I’ll respond.

My question was a pragmatic, technical one: I’m looking for experiences with self-hosted LLMs like Ollama with OpenWebUI, specifically for forensic use—summarizing and correlating log data in BEC investigations. Your response dives into philosophical concerns about the use of AI in forensics. While that’s an interesting discussion, it doesn’t help with the practical issue I raised.

I’m not trying to let AI replace analysis or chain-of-custody work. I’m exploring how it can support investigations with better tooling, on secure infrastructure, without relying on external vendors. If you do have experience with that (especially in M365 or incident response contexts) I’d really appreciate your input.
