    TBH, tech companies showing AI down our throats is still no good, open-source alternative existing or not.

      Normal people are losing themselves in AI. I’ve seen multiple instances of people using LLM to fact check someone. Endless “uhh, but I asked ChatGPT and it said blablabla” making me lose faith in humanity.

        Honestly its not much different from a google search and reading some nonsense written by someone who has no authority in the subject. As long as it reinforces their belief itll be true in their eyes

        Yeah it’s become impossible to have philosophical discussions, although this truly does seem limited to the virtual world (i.e. via text, online, etc.). If I were to go have some drinks with a friend and they busted out some LLM to take part in our discussion I would chastise them endlessly for it.

    Wait who doesn’t already use Notepad++? It’s even part of the standard install image at my job, and we have MS365 accounts already

      Son, I was using Emacs before Notepad++ even existed.

      Tap for spoiler

      Oh shit, I looked it up and it’s literally true. Notepad++ was first released in 2003 and I’m pretty sure I used Emacs for the first time in 2002.

    You can do VSCode, which is FOSS, contains integrated AI, and you can even complain about Micro$oft at the same time as a bonus!

    i’m still mad at np++ for the version that supported the french media outlet that was an attack victim. not for that but for sneaking in an auto-typing text tab that looked SO MUCH like a virus especially since it was not in the original release notes.

      Yeah the dev is notorious for sneaking in irrelevant political virtue signaling bullshit. I get that they want to do good to the world, but there are so many ways to do that without alienating your users. For example, partnering up with a charity. You know. Like VIM does.
