I donāt get what youāre suggesting. If your goal is to facilitate discovery of solutions for questions relative to LO usage, AI could effectively help users to find similar problems. But there is a flaw: AI presently is only data mining and tentative extrapolation from what was found. This requires pre-existing data, i.e. at least documentation.
Iād say that probably as much as 75% of AskLO questions are the results of not reading the existing documentation and refusing the fact that LO usage departs from inherited routine. The remaining 25% are really interesting because they ask for ācreative innovationā.
I agree that AI could easily solve the 75% which betray some laziness from users. I doubt AI could propose breaking suggestions in the latter case. From what I hear (I have not tried ChatGPT and consequently have no opinion), many AI engines only reformulate differently the question and the solution probably emerges from some new understanding of the problem by the user. This is anyway a plus but I donāt see the true added-value.
You know, JosĆ©, I partly share your excitement about AI - itās really impressive. Like the David Copperfield show, for example (you see that you are being deceived, but you agree to endure it further because itās fun).
Iām talking about something else now. You publish a link to the results of your dialogue with the robot over and over again, but you donāt take into account that the session with the code 3b22ea98-f125-4216-9f2a-cf55fe2cfea1 is available only to you. All other users, when they try to use your link, end up on the Get started - Log in - Sign up start page. If you want to share exactly the result of the dialogue, then just publish the text, do not force us to register there.
Oups, sorry @JohnSUN about the link. My mistake.
I have updated the link: Somme des cellules A1-A10
Have a nice day. JosƩ
Yes, this is an amazing piece of intelligence. Let it be artificial, but at least someā¦ A living person would write āPress the Alt-Equals key combination so that a formula with the SUM (SOMME) function appears in the cell and select with the mouse the range of cells that should be summed - in your case A1:A10ā
Thank you for your joke @JohnSUN .
Did you see the following question in the thread? 
About statistics?
Do you know a key combination which allows providing a solution about statistics
And now, I am working on a request of Python program in Calc :)ā¦ It does not work.
Let me tune my question
Calc Sheet Tab Pop-up
We may smile, joke, be serious for a whileā¦
Iām tempted to get very serious about all that, even more since I read a big deal of Max Tegmarkās āLife 3.0ā. Itās not so much the stories he tells and the scenarios he presents. Itās about the current state of āglobal societyā I found there concerning the ways of thinking that are presented as factually ācommonā.
When I (German highschool teacher M/Ph) had accompanied a group of students to Wisconsin for an exchange visit in 1992, and about a year later when a group, of US highschool students visited Bavaria in turn (and I accompanied them on occasions), I got the impression many of the US young had lost the ability to walk on feet through a city. They were used to cars, obviously.
Now I feel many people may have nearly lost the ability to use printed sources of āknwoledgeā.
After occasional use of an AI based translator to check my English writing, I already often feel tempted (and sometimes I yield) to simply translate something from German to English instead of creating an English text myself - as I was used to for many years despite the doubtable results.
- Another 10 years from now: Who will still take the trouble to learn a foreign language?
- Who can tease my suspicions concerning the control and exploitation by global companies (their powerful forces) getting accesss to our complete global communication this way?
- Assuming a nearly complete breakdown of āmodernā technical means (or a wilfully caused break of the functionality): How many of the currently > 8E9 humans would be able to make a living for another few years? In the end that may be a few even still capable of growing their grains and vegetables on some piece of soil. But long before it comes to the collapse of production most people will starve from missing traffic. Traffic concerning materials, but with a similar and faster impact of failing communication.
!!!it tells you nonsense about Sheet-tab-Popup!!!
I think there is one strong question for all AIs. How to fix a bugs in AIs if the output is bad?
Some AIs are really good in these days, for example e-translators. But there are always bugs in translations, but mostly not so terrible now. But there isnāt any possibility how to create really proper translator with AIs, because the indissociable part of AIs are the generators of ārandomā numbers. Without these pseudorandom generators, it is nearly unusable ā because it always returns only one āstrongestā variant.
I really donāt believe in illustrious future with statistical systems strongly based on ārandomsā. āRandomsā always means there will be bugs. And how to repair bugs in large AIs? Put there a much larger set of some exceptions :-)?
Maybe easier could be to answer properly on Joiner paradox. Joke: Man who work with wood asks the new AI-IQ18000+: āIām Joiner and I want to know the proper time when I must start to build own coffin. Because if I will start too much soon, there is danger the woodworms (anobiid) will eat it. And if I will start too much late, I will not finish it so it will be also work good for nothing.ā
I donāt weigh to tip the statistics how many asks are from ālazy usersā (because I donāt read all asks, mostly only ones with label āmacroā), but I think @ajlittoz 75% seems well. But now, we talk about LibreOffice and how to solve the problems with LibreOffice, but what happen if there will be added the button for AI āsolutionsā? Will we must talk about unnecessary outputs from AI? Will it decrease the count of ālazy usersā? Maybe in some cases. But the ālazinessā have surely subsets that arenāt only ālazyā ā āI havenāt so much time to read large (but really high-quality!) LibreOffice documentationā, āIām frustrated from the vastness of documentationā, āIām frustrated that I thought the solution will be easy and it isnāt so easy.ā, āI spent a lot of time with documentation, but I still not understand fully to problems.ā
So without AI we talk nearly about some live parts of our lifes, but with AIs it is only some dead mixture of some hard-primitivismed data.
For example I donāt loose my time with the asks that is something from MS Office, typically āI have XLSX file and I needā - I donāt know MS Office and I donāt want to learn how to work with paid/lease software. And I will not spent a time with the asks like: āPlease help me, AI gave me this.ā
My tip is the enthusiasm from AI will decreased (at some people), because there will start to discover in quantities the ugly bugs caused the ārandomā parts in algorithms. Without any possibility to fix it.
And Iām not able to imagine how the AIs will solve the mix of languages. Iām Czech and few weaks ago, some friends from Poland was here. We talked with mixture of Czech, Polish and English. Of course without any notices āthis is Czech word, this is Polish, that is Englishā. We nearly normally speak the mixture of three languages and we proportionately understand to selfs :-), and it was amusing. And will be the mixture of languages easily distinguished for AIs? Easier for example than proper answer to Joiner paradox :-)? And what to talk some AI: āDo you know Joiner paradox? So write me what is Anobiid paradox! :-)ā
Thank you for sharing your feeling about this topic.
Please note, I am using the free 3.5 version. I wonder what will be the answer with the 4.0 version.
And 5.0 version is already on the road.
See you soon. JosƩ
Version is not so important as solving the basic problem of inventing stuff.
.
We see in AI-generated code plausible looking code with functions wich are not available in the used API. This is also not acceptable for technical descriptions. So a human has to correct documentation. (Even now we see Mac-users complaining there is no Tools-Option entry in the Menu, as Apples guidelines tell to rename this.)
.
So we should not underestimate the work to do until you trained an AI to be really useful. And someone has to pay for the computing time for generation of the model and for running it to answer your questions also. This is easier for M$ than for TDF, even if they wished to do so.
While AI might be useful to some, itās a pain to others - Iām an attorney and I donāt like the idea of AI being trained on my data as thereās then an issue with the confidentiality of my data. I.e. if Iām writing a confidential letter in Word, Iām no longer confident that the content of that letter is confidential as itās being sent to a LLM. If LibreOffice introduce AI, my one ask that itās made very clear that itās on and very clear how to switch it off.
Hi @Richard_Gillespie, thank you for your time and I agree with your suggestion,
itās made very clear that itās on and very clear how to switch it off.
At the same time, the AI introduction here was more in connection with support and documentation.
Something like a āHow toā function.
And your comment stay pertinent.
Enjoy with LibreOffice,
JosƩ from France.
It might be more in line with the goal of LibreOffice to consider making using of large language machines that run on users local computer or userās server instead. Of course, large language models are computationally resource intensive and it might not align with everyoneās desire to run an LLM on their own machine, but I think there should be an option to allow so and to develop an LLM that would match the need and be easy to use to regular users of LibreOffice. But then thereās also another problem of would it take too much time/people/money to develop such an LLM for users of Libreoffice and would it be better to be a separate project that connect to LIbreoffice instead of for example a component of Libreoffice itself.

Iām down to my last brain cell and iāll be needing this very soon, but for now I wonder if you can help figure out how to install the existing AI into Libre office, the instructions are confused
