"Yes, no AI is now a feature" - LibreOffice / The Document Foundation

Something I found interesting that deserved a write-up this morning is the blog post from LibreOffice / The Document Foundation on no AI being a feature.

AI features are also Microsoft's excuse for trying to force customers into a $100/yr subscription model.

Yes, old news is now new news.

Seriously, this has been posted 4 times a day for 2 weeks now.

There is exactly one place where I want ai: in its browser window that's directed at the service of my choice (ideally something self hosted).

I don't want an ai sidebar.

I don't want ai search summaries.

I don't want ai assisted shopping.

I don't want ai snooping in my photo gallery.

I don't want ai in my emails.

And I don't want to watch other people's slop. I can prompt my own, fuck off.

This has been part 3 of a series of comments on my nuanced opinion regarding ai.

Immich has an LlmMachine Learning Model classify images and makes them.searchable. That is actually useful. However only acceptable because it is completely self hosted and everything stays in my db.

Just to nitpick: It's Machine Learning, not a Large Language Model.

It's sad that nuanced talk is getting rarer and rarer. I think we can all agree that AI can be useful if used thoughtfully.

No AI shouldn't be a feature per se. No Microsoft bullshit, on the other hand, is a feature.

Ai being shoved into everything has a problem that even pro ai individuals can probably agree on: you have no control on what the ai is or what it's supposed to do. It will be biased in favor of whomever is shoving it at you. The only ai you can trust is the service you chose, better yet something self hosted.

the lack of nuance is my only complaint with lemmy. it is inundated with anti-ai posts. hell libre office blogs shouldnt be in a programming community. can we hear about languages. or compilers or ides or what ever but not office products
