No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

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.

:'-( I'm not openclaw, I'm a human being!

[–] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

ONLYOFFICE allows you to connect your own local Ollama instance.

Oooh, you said the 愛 word. A million downvotes for you.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You got the math wrong

√25 = ±5

Therefore:

AI = 埃, 捱, 矮, 爱

Therefore:

OP gets quadruple the downvotes...

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

(Don't worry if this made no sense, I just like shit~~posting~~commenting nonsense xD)

Nooo! But I used to be so popular on Lemmy!

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.

[–] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I misremembered. The last one I looked into isnt FOSS, but is thick with AI.
