I am so frustrated and disappointed in almost everything that I once held in high regard when it comes to tech. A few days ago, we found out that LibreOffice is using AI, even after they said that no AI is a feature, and just an hour ago, I found out that @Tutanota@mastodon.social might be using AI, as well. And that's right, you guessed it, they've said in the past that they are not using AI. I'm going to wait until we hear from Tuta on this subject before judging too much, but if they don't clear this up, my very long time premium subscription will end. I stayed with Tuta over the years for many reasons but the most important is their stance on AI. Or, well, they're marketing stance on AI. I'm so tired of recommending tech to people and then being shit on by that tech company. Tuta, please clear this up. I know that I'm only one person but I've recommended you to so many people and think I deserve a response. #noAI

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @Tutanota@mastodon.social They already *did* clear this up, though: "Internal use is different because whoever is committing LLM-assisted code takes full responsibility for it and is therefore staking their reputation on that code being good ... Hope this helps :)" 🫠 🤪 https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/discussions/11601#discussioncomment-18757310

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe Hi Chad, we've commented on the topic here, looking forward to hear your thoughts. We're in the exploring stage, and we do want to understand pros and cons better first, before making any decision: https://reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/1ximsy2/dear_ceo_of_tuta/

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @Tutanota@mastodon.social they’ve all jumped on the NFT ship, because the c-suite is the place where dumbasses work out their personal issues while siphoning money.

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe I am sending you a virtual hug. It's not about the tech or even the trust, just the exhaustion. @Tutanota@mastodon.social

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @Tutanota@mastodon.social Ugh, I hope not. I also switched to Tuta to get away from big tech and AI.
