Honest question- are the down votes just because it uses gen-ai, or because canonical has done something fucky here?
If gen-ai makes transcription better to my mind thats one of very few meaningful usecases and I would love to have voice transcription on my laptop, but I dunno if theres some additional shit people take issue with here that I’m just not in-the-loop about. Which always feels like a bit of a risk with canonical these days
Will they then then replace everything with AI, gradually, including the calculator, image/video viewer, browser?
No, I will never want AI in my machine pre-installed, even remotely.
I prefer deterministic and accurate.
Those who like AI, may install AI.
No, fudge it. Delete it dead.

Thats fair, I can understand that position. I just couldn’t tell if there was something additional about the situation I wasnt aware of
