"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Interesting, I did the whole rigamarole about a year ago to downgrade to a non-AI version of Office (for a cheaper sub too), I wonder how this will impact that.
I have used FOSS alternatives in the past but seeing how I use Office apps at work it's just what I'm more familiar with. I'd like to move off of it but we are also sharing a family sub with some others.
ETA: Our current one is 365 Family Classic and so far it doesn't say anything is changing. Love how they don't advertise that option to new sign-ups, you literally have to agree to one of the slop tiers and then 'downgrade'.
