LibreOffice markets its lack of AI as a feature

The LibreOffice project is promoting the absence of artificial intelligence features in its open-source office suite as a selling point. The Document Foundation's stance positions the free software as a privacy-friendly alternative at a time when rivals like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are pushing AI assistants into everyday productivity tools. Open-source and privacy communities are embracing the message, reflecting a broader backlash against unwanted AI integration in software.
Why now: Growing user frustration with AI features being added to productivity software has made LibreOffice's 'no AI' positioning a talking point.
