Thank you for the amazing work. This is, along side immich, my most used self hosted project. I’ll definitely give this a look over this weekend!
Comment on [AIT] paperless-ngx 3.0.0

At the risk of getting internet-assaulted I am one of the primary devs, feel free to ask me about it. To address some of the issues already raised:
- All the new “AI” (LLM) features are opt-in, meaning if you dont enable them you wont see them, literally. At all.
- All of them can also be run local-only, of course.
- There are a ton of other features as well.
- One of our devs has made use of Claude especially around database schema improvements, which is a particularly tricky thing to work on. I dont like AI, I wish I could go back to the world before it, but I cant. So at this point it is almost absurd to not use LLM tools to some degree in programming. AI slop or vibe-coding is to do so indiscriminately, and I hate that too. Believe me we get tons of PRs from people with basically no dev experience or abilities… and we dont accept them. We expect the same from ourselves. We use it sparingly and very specifically, interrogate it aggresi

Respect for the nuance of the argument. Congrats on the major version.

Hey, dont believe me, Im just a random, but this guy seems like worth a listen: arstechnica.com/…/linus-torvalds-to-critics-of-ai…

No I’m saying I respect the fact you have more nuance than most towards the argument and didn’t leave it in such a reductive form that doesn’t help anyone.

WHAT IS THIS?!?!1? NUANCE IN A DISCUSSION?!? NOT ALLOWED IN 2026
/s
flinging upvotes to y’all, really makes my day seeing civil discourse and not “Discourse” on here. Keep it up, really this is what makes Lemmy such a great place

I run paperless at my house and it’s given me back some sanity and some privacy. That’s a rare combo in 2026. From one techie to another: thank you very much. My actual family thanks you haha.

Not, if you know what you’re doing.
I dont like AI, I wish I could go back to the world before it, but I cant.
You do know that you can use LLMs to get inspiration and suggestions but then still implement those things by hand? Which is also a great way to make sure it doesn’t change something else in the background. Also, if you use Claude like you’ve used StackOverflow and Google before, you don’t even have to mention it as a Co-Author.

I disagree with your broad statement that SQL in general isn’t tricky to make more performant if you know what you’re doing. Worked with DBAs who have decades of experience who have gotten great help in streamlining queries and schemas from AI tools in the last couple of years.

Thanks for chiming in! I don’t fully agree with your reasoning re the usage of AI but I can accept your stance and am glad that you implemented it opt in with no intention of annoying me into using it. I also know many people have been asking for those features for a while though.
The person creating the issue has been downvoted here as well, even though this is a largely anti-ai place in my perception.
By now I also found the upgrade guide which lists the main features - I usually read the release notes, but this time it was a whole lot and hard to take it all in.
