Yes, no (built-in) AI is now a feature

@argv_minus_one @wobweger @libreoffice @grvsmth @moskitokoenig That is what generative AI is useful for.
It is very good at generating computer code and will vastly increase the quality of what professional programmers can produce.
That is my experience

@Razemix @michal @libreoffice and add privacy issues when you share internal company document with LLM provider? Are you willing to send your manufacturing secrets to random company somewhere in the states? Really?
@jan @Razemix @libreoffice Most companies already use Microsoft's cloud services. This won't be a problem for them.

@michal @Razemix @libreoffice then they use MS Office, not LibreOffice, right?

@jan @Razemix @libreoffice Price might be the main factor. But once companies have to use something that’s outdated by today’s standards, it won’t matter that it’s free. Employees will start complaining and refuse to work with something from the Stone Age.

@michal Please be mindful about language used to evaluate other people's legitimate goals and efforts, even if those don't align with yours. Thanks.

@michal @jan @Razemix @libreoffice sorry, but this gave me a really good laugh. I've been out of school for 15 years and I'm yet to see an employee who refuse to work with software because it's like from the stone age.
People at Czech Post work with DOS-like terminals, we work with Oracle ERP, which looks like from the Win2000 era... People work with the tools they are given by the employer and they're paid for it. This isn't a consumer market. -

We do try to make our software design nice and current, but other companies do not really care that much... Does it work? Yes, then don't complain how it looks.

@Razemix @michal @libreoffice We have had Google Docs full of AI at work for months and frankly the only useful feature I've found is help with Sheets formulas. I wanted to use it for presentation templates, but it was rather sour experience.
Hint: all of those features came enabled by default, no one asked me as a user.@sesivany @Razemix @michal @libreoffice Best future of google docs? That any Amrican can look what you do (trump his Cloud act and Patriot act), and it is probably sold to other companies too, where you have no idea from what they do with your data. Just avoid american companies if data is stored in the cloud.

I am speaking from experience, not theory
It is not as simple as "LLMs write better code". But from now on the best code will be aided by LLMs in its construction. That is true now
@worik @Garonenur @argv_minus_one @wobweger @libreoffice @moskitokoenig I don't come on Mastodon for grandiose pronouncements based on one individual's experience.

Of course not. Under no circumstances will I allow one of those things to execute arbitrary commands on my machine without review. I'm not completely insane.
@argv_minus_one @worik @wobweger @libreoffice @moskitokoenig "Thorough" is the last thing I associate with commands produced by a random text generator.

No added sugars
No palm oil
No gluten
No AI

@libreoffice fantastic! Now I just need libre office to stop crashing when I open it

@wobweger @libreoffice @grvsmth @moskitokoenig
It's still coded using AI, same as what Debian just decided to do.

@cosmin @argv_minus_one Ah, another high-quality Mastodon discussion. Again: No core developers use LLMs. We rely on contributions from the wider community and don't explicitly list tools people 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. That is not "slop".

@CorvidCrone Obviously, that shouldn't be happening, but without any details about your setup (computer type, operating system, LibreOffice version etc.) it's hard for us to say what the problem could be...

@libreoffice In fact, it's the other way around: AI has built-in you

Golly!
What do you expect when communicating?
It is a shame if you cannot tolerate disagreement
I have no problem with your opinions and POV, I disagree with some of it
For bubbles of agreement I would have stayed on Facebook!

@grvsmth @argv_minus_one @wobweger @libreoffice @moskitokoenig
I do urge you to experiment with them. It is a mischaracterisation to call them "random text generators".

@worik @argv_minus_one @wobweger @libreoffice @grvsmth @moskitokoenig
How can the: "here is the stochastic average of the training data" be of better quality?
That is not how LLMs work.The code quality is shit, especially without rigorous human supervision.
@Garonenur @argv_minus_one @wobweger @libreoffice @grvsmth @moskitokoenig
Your comment about their output being shit is two years out of date
These days the code they produce is often very good.
Times are changing, and the development since 2022 has been astounding
The last nine months alone has seen huge advances.
