Before everyone hates me and responds with “Fuck AI,” I sometimes find AI to be something that saves me time and like AI. I don’t like my data not being private.

I can run AI locally, but I would like AI to be able to run within a local word processor itself.

So for example, I want to be able to tell AI: “AI, I wrote this 100 page document and there are numerous references to how the earth is flat. I realize that’s not true and need to scan the entire document, remove every example of that, and make it so it still makes sense.”

That’s a very weird example of some things I want to do but real examples are too private to post.

Other examples could include: “AI, I didn’t create any headers in this document. Can you please create headers where appropriate and make them all bold?”

This is the sort of AI stuff that potentially saves me 45 minutes here and there and it doesn’t seems like I can easily do it in open source software. Instead, I have to copy everything to Jan or GPT4ALL and then go from there. I’d rather do this within an open source word processor itself.

Is this possible?

    If your writing is being spied on because you use AI, that’s not a privacy violation because it’s not your writing.

      Using AI to assist in writing can be anything from it fixing your spelling mistakes to the AI writing the entire thing from scratch. Dismissing it as “not your writing” simply because an AI was used is quite ignorant thing to say. It’s a bit more nuanced than that.

    You killed a coral reef because you couldn’t figure out how to create headers and footers? No, there’s no AI integrated Open Source word processor.

      It’s a good point. But I also think I can’t stop environmental catastrophe from occurring because religious people don’t believe in science and most people are religious.

      I am all in favor of banning gas cars, building better public infrastructure, and extremely harsh draconian environmental standards to try to stop the extinction event unfolding before us, but over time I concluded I can’t stop it: people are too religious and stupid.

      I can’t deprogram the entire world. I may as well have a nicer life until everything dies by using AI. I can’t run for world dictator, as a gay person, and enact the necessary standards because so many religious idiots would never vote for me because I’m gay. At best, I can protest, which does nothing in the grand scheme of things.

      People have protested, scientists have lit themselves on fire trying to warn people; no one cares. I don’t think that being a part of the extinction even is immoral when it will happen no matter what I do. And honestly, people are so stupid and evil that maybe the earth is better off getting rid of us, like a human gets a fever to try to destroy an infection. Humans no longer know how to live in balance with nature and belief in religion is the primary driver of that. Should I suffer until the end (with no AI) so I can say “I told you so” in 130 F heat when the world becomes uninhabitable? I like AI. I would rather not format all my documents or write all my documents. I like the help. Yes, it’s environmentally destructive, but it’s sort of like lecturing the captain when the Titanic has already started sinking. We know what’s going to happen, there’s no turning back, at best some humans will escape to a slightly colonized Mars until everyone dies and perhaps the earth will go back to homeostasis thousands or millions of years later and Martians can recolonize earth. I can’t stop these things.

    LibreOffice is sick with LLM plugins, and at least one FOSS word processor that I looked into as a word alternative advertised a thick AI integration.
