It's still coded using AI, same as what Debian just decided to do.

@argv_minus_one @wobweger @libreoffice @moskitokoenig Well, that's idiotic, but it's important that it doesn't shove AI at users with no opt out!

Thank you! -

@libreoffice And a feature I like and prefer...
-
@libreoffice libreoffice should be more mainstream
@pri Things are starting to happen
LibreOffice has around 200 million users (we estimate – of course we don't track people). The Austrian Military has moved 16,000 PCs from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. Similar things are happening in Germany and Denmark. And quietly in many organisations and companies around the world... -

@libreoffice what a cool looking robot. who drew that?

@libreoffice what is the project’s stance on AI being used on the development side of things? How much code are you allowing to be written by LLMs?

@Jeff None of the core developers use them. We rely on contributions from the wider community and don't explicitly list tools people can and can't use – but we do require people disclose when they use LLMs and generally discourage the practice. We carefully review submissions by contributors to make sure the code quality is good and that the patch author understands their own code. LLMs are prohibited for students and other mentored work.

Unshittification? -
@KittenKoder@mastodon.social It's already cruel and barbaric might makes right. Just with luxury yachts.

@libreoffice @Jeff Better than doing nothing, I guess.

@pri @libreoffice Isn't it like the only viable software for documents and spreadsheets?
-
@libreoffice "Yes, we have no AI" was right there!
Well... some AI-enhanced contributions have managed to slip the cracks. Hopefully they manage to either review them or substitute them entirely soon, just in case -
@pri @libreoffice That doesn't make it any better.
And would they even know if you save your documents as .doc?

@libreoffice @Jeff I would have said this was a good policy in the past, but I think it's worth considering the potential copyright issues presented with AI-generated output (but not with using AI to ask questions about the code base or to check your code for issues).

LibreOffice has around 200 million users (we estimate – of course we don't track people). The Austrian Military has moved 16,000 PCs from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. Similar things are happening in Germany and Denmark. And quietly in many organisations and companies around the world...... and this seemingly quiet movement will only accelerate over the coming years.
Thank you for sticking to your principles. Much appreciated.

@libreoffice @Jeff The quality of the #LLM generated code is a small part of the problem. There are much important environmental and human rights issues associated to genAI / Big tech that we, the FreeSoftware community, can not ignore. We count on LibreOffice to keep making a difference in our society. Please, don't let us down.
