LibreOffice will stick ai tools in an upcoming release. Do we know of office suites (running on Linux) that do not have artificial idiots in their roadmap?

Alternatively I will stick with the version I'm running now.

That's exciting to hear. Will the new LOOL be part of that release? For now we're building on the tiredofit container, but when available, we can switch and help testing.

First, there is no such thing at all as "LibreOffice 26.4 beta". The next major release will be LibreOffice 26.8, due to go into beta in early June. So the article author just invented that, apparently.

And LibreOffice is not "introducing AI" into the software. There are no plans to put AI in LibreOffice. Some people are working on optional extensions.

There is no such thing as "LibreOffice 26.4 beta". And LibreOffice is not "introducing AI" in any way. Some community members are working on optional, separate extensions but that's another matter.

Het moet ergens staan om te worden verwerkt, al is het maar een paar seconden. Da's in elk geval wel erg netjes gemeld zo. Ik heb een betaalde deepl-versie gehad om te testen, maar ik doe er niet genoeg mee om het bedrag te rechtvaardigen.

Als het 'vereenvoudigen van tekst' als een speerpunt wordt genoemd, is dat wederom een indicatie dat de mensheid dommer moet worden.
Mijn vriendin is lerares op een gymnasium, en zij klaagt er steen en been over. Alles is crapgpt en 'maak dat eens wat eenvoudiger'.

Dat plus de ontlezing is zo'n slechte zaak...

"One of the biggest additions connected to LibreOffice 26.4 Beta is expanded support for AI-assisted writing tools through integrations such as WritingTool, an open-source LibreOffice extension designed to enhance editing workflows."

Het schijnt optioneel te zijn. Gelukkig.

The LibreOffice version numbers end in .2 and .8 (ie, released in February and August). 26.4 doesn’t exist. All discussions I’ve seen about integrating AI have always been very negative and the conclusion is that we should leave that up to optional extensions.
