Comment on AI extension: Stable Diffusion image generator for LibreOffice

Ehhh. Mixed bag. Integrating AI into every-damn-thing is half of why people act like a robot kicked their dog - but diffusion is the half that unambiguously does what it’s supposed to, and a popular FOSS tool is a decent place to offer an it-just-works installation for local models.
The images are generated on volunteer GPUs through AI Horde.
Nevermind, fuck this.

What’s your problem with the ai horde?

Any reliance on remote compute is fragile, because you lack control of the model. Exact versions matter. Every thread that goes ‘how do I use the old [service name]?’ is someone learning this lesson, often too late.

Yes but not everyone has something that can run a local model. We also specify exact versions of the local models we run so people can replicate locally if they want.
