[Python] NotImplementedError: Loading a dataset cached in a LocalFileSystem is not supported

I try to load a dataset using the datasets python module in my local Python Notebook. I am running a Python 3.10.13 kernel as I do for my virtual environment.

I cannot load the datasets I am following from a tutorial. Here's the error:

NotImplementedError: Loading a dataset cached in a LocalFileSystem is not supported.


How do I resolve this? I don't understand how this error is applicable, given that the dataset is something I am fetching and thus cannot be cached in my LocalFileSystem in the first place.
