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

[golemwire@social.golemwire.com]

Very reasonable!

[tobifant@friendica.tf-translate.net]

@pri @yora @libreoffice Indeed. I am also in a position where I need to use certain Word templates and cannot afford for the formatting to be sometimes off. Too bad. I use LibreOffice for my bookkeeping and private stuff, but currently can't use it for work.

@libreoffice I understand that their are issues at Libreoffice, with result that many developers goto #Collabora Office.
So if you want to keep the development, then i understand that Callabora Office (Classic) is better solution then LibreOffice (because the Libre is gone by matter of speaking)
Collabora Office- https://www.collaboraonline.com/collabora-office/
Collabora Office Classic- https://www.collaboraonline.com/collabora-office-classic/

OpenOffice become LibreOffice become CollaboraOffice.

@libreoffice LibreOffice is the best!

@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

[nflux@gts.exile.social]

@libreoffice hell yeah 🩵

[grvsmth@lingo.lol]

@worik @argv_minus_one @wobweger @libreoffice @moskitokoenig Surveys and studies of coders say the opposite:

Generative AI is good at producing text that resembles code and may compile, but the code is unreliable and takes as much work to debug as it would to write it from scratch.

A lot of coders have your experience. Until they actually look at the code it produces.

@libreoffice ️ Thank you!

@grvsmth furthermore, many studies have shown that llm users perceive themselves to be more productive than they are, or even perceive productivity gains when instead their productivity is worsened

this of course doesn't acknowledge all the other consequences of llm usage to the environment, cognition, mental health, communities both local and abroad, workers rights, creators rights, global internet infrastructure, etc...

@libreoffice I love this boundary. If I want to use my own AI tools on my documents on my computer I want to be enabled to do that, but I will abandon any office software or browsers that insert AI into updates without a full opt-out.

[parrot@woof.tech]

@libreoffice so you're telling me that libreoffice is "Zuzai"? (https://zuzai.org)

congrats!!

[argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org]

@worik

If AI is producing code of higher quality than what you can write, then that doesn't speak highly of AI; it speaks poorly of you.

As a professional programmer with 30+ years experience, I need tools that work correctly every time. AI only sometimes works correctly, and that's not good enough. I have left many tools behind because they proved unreliable, and this is one of them.

Bravo

[krumple_footskin@mastodon.social]

@billyjoebowers @libreoffice I'm confused. I read their post and it implies there is no AI code in LibreOffice currently, but users can choose to install third party extensions that might interact with LLMs.

Edit: oh, I see what you mean.

[yora@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@KittenKoder@mastodon.social That's what petrol bombs and guillotines are made for.
Tools specific to the task.

[wobweger@mstdn.social]

@worik @argv_minus_one @libreoffice @grvsmth @moskitokoenig
from time to time, I visit #slop fan accounts,
they all have below 3 digit followers,
that much their promotion a insane hype cycle is valued here

take the hint and consider switching platform

[thankfulmachine@oldbytes.space]

@libreoffice hmm... where have I heard this before...

[internic@mathstodon.xyz]

@xyhhx @grvsmth I've seen a few such results in passing, but I'd be interested to know of more, so if you have any citations you can easily share that would be very useful (even better if there are review articles).

[xyhhx@social.treehouse.systems]

@internic @grvsmth hm, actually my original understanding was from this study, i think:

https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-os-dev-study/

but the more recent study suggest a possible improvement, though they couldn't recruit enough developers for a confident analysis:
