I don’t think it’s anti-AI more a lack of trust of services saying here’s a product…and the concern it will be used for ulterior motives. I know I don’t like my voice being captured.
It’s captured when you press a button and only handled locally. This is exactly the sort of thing you want for accessibility. Not everybody can type or type well.
What do you think are the ulterior motives behind this GPLv3 licensed app?
I think the ulterior motive is getting better accessibility tools so it’s easier to convince governments to use Ubuntu (and likely pay for extended support).
That response, especially given that this is something that’s entirely offline and optional, is probably the closest we’re going to get to you admitting that you just want to be negative about this rather than actually having a criticism of it.
I agree. I have spent years in tech. And I have worked trusted and advocated but in the last 5 years or so it’s changed. And I trust little of it. It’s not the tech, it’s the people it’s in the hands of. I am at the point of cynic now and I’ll stay on that side until I see otherwise. Is that wrong?

I agree. It’s a great use. I just can’t trust any tech company now. Even if they mean well abuses happen.
So you’ve just thrown away your phone and computer? You posting from a library or something?
No…I’m not that far but taking steps to work on what I can control.
I can’t totally escape

I’m not sure but I’m done believing that tech enhancements pushed at me benefit me.

I’m just making it clear that you don’t have any actual criticisms of this application and haven’t addressed it when people point out that:
You’re welcome to remain belligerent. I’m not here to change your mind.
Thanks
