Nice. But what I'm really missing is display of exit information in the gallery and sorting by date taken instead of date uploaded.

This is both exciting and anxiety inducing. I recognize ClosedAI integration is a feature needed for competing with O365, but I will approach activating any of that with high caution.

I'm confused about how the AI integration here is "ethical". Could you elaborate?
in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

the idea that you can just stick the word "Ethical" in front of something as if that makes it so :/
Choosing to ignore copyright of material in training sets, environmental impact, as well as other labour issues involved in data classification because it's hard doesn't _in any way_ make it ethical.

These AI features are not ethical when sourced from unethical sources.

Like some others, I'm still hesitant to enable/use AI functions. Is it possible to disable this?
in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

oh ffs "ethical AI"? Do I understand correctly that you enable "AIs" that you yourself rate as unethical?

How do I disable it reliably and for good? I run several #Nextcloud instances, I do not want to have any of this code on any of them.

Will it be possible to deactivate all IA stuff? I'm very disappointed you decided to go toward this horrible ecological and social disaster that ChatGPT and all IA fashion stuff are.
Do you know the impact of IA on the planet (gold, and Rare-earth element mines impact, water and electricity consumption etc..) and the shitty badly paid clic job?

@Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

share your thoughts on this release with us in the comments or on social media and tell friends


Please allow me to opt-out of all AI-driven features, both externally and on-premise. I do not want this on my home system at all.

@coldhotman Hi! 😀 It is not enabled by default, so a) it is your choice and b) we inform people about the consequences. Read more at https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-ethical-ai-rating/
