    So AI isn’t useful in the slightest?

    How is putting AI in a basic text editor useful? Or is this a situation where you are just defending the concept of the usefulness of shoving bots in every single piece of software possible?

    AI has some useful things it can do, but many more useless things, like just being shoved into something to try to mine even more of your data under the guide of ‘usefulness’.

    You know you don’t have to use AI in it, right?

    No, I just have to see the prompt every time I use the software just so lazy mouth breathers don’t have to expend the mental energy to go to another app to ask their mental pacifier to do all the hard work for them.

      How is putting AI in a basic text editor useful?

      Because writing/editing text is the most basic use of LLMs. Pretty self explanatory.

      This doesn’t mine your data. Where are you guys all getting that from? The screenshot even explicitly shows it’s on-device.
