Both Ubuntu and Fedora have made it official: support is coming soon for running local generative AI instances.

An epic and still-growing thread in the Fedora forums states one of the goals for the next version: the Fedora AI Developer Desktop Objective. It is causing some discontent, and at least one Fedora contributor, SUSE’s Fernando Mancera, has resigned.

I just recently had an issue with Access, where running a report multiple times would randomly result in errors, or clean reports. The explanation copilot gave was that Access has a built in LLM now that is "interpreting" certain queries, and may result in different outputs, even different resulting data types. So doing a join on those outputs for the report, would sometimes result in reporting errors, even without changing the underlying logic. AI has sorta taken a calculator that used to reliably return 2 + 2 = 4, and turned it into one that sometimes thinks 2 + 2 = chair.

I don't know how comfy I am seeing AI integrated everywhere at this stage of the tech. It really doesn't feel mature enough for production.
