Absolutely dismayed at the use of AI-Image Generation for Atlantis

[jjjonah]

I like Atlantis Word Processor--I like that it has collapsible headings, that it doesn't have a subscription model, the many useful features it has for formatting and exporting. There's so much I like about it because it doesn't seem interested in the growth-at-all-costs model that modern tech companies push.

Now, I use Atlantis for a lot of personal writing work, but I am mainly an artist. I liked recommending Atlantis to friends specifically because it is so detached from the giant tech companies and services while offering many similar useful features. But I am also, mainly, an artist, and as an artist, I am deeply offended by the gleeful usage of AI-Image Generation software to build up a brand on Atlantis's main website.

Look, much has been written about the ethical nature of popular image-gen models like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, etc. All that data was scraped from the work of artists without their consent. And what's more, AI-generated images are polluting the internet with fake images, text, and content. Any software that willingly uses this tech to promote itself is, in my opinion, software that I can no longer trust. Are you going to be implementing AI features into the core program now, AI features that nobody asked for, nobody likes, and nobody wants? I was rooting for Atlantis as an independent software free from the shackles of obnoxious tech trends, but if this software decides to follow said tech trends, then it has lost at least one loyal customer.

There is no AI assistant in Atlantis Word Processor. And there are no plans to add one.
