KDE Eco talks about genai (floss.social)

Given its extremely high energy and water consumption, the increased minimum system requirements driving premature hardware obsolescence, among other very problematic social and political issues, genAI/LLMs are not compatible with the values and goals of KDE Eco.

KDE is a diverse community and the opinions and projects of some KDE contributors are not representative of the entire community or KDE Eco projects.
