I’m Wren (they/them). I’m a programmer and cybersecurity researcher. I have a blog I don’t update enough.

Ok? I feel like people don’t understand how these things work. It’s an LLM, not a superintelligent AI. It’s not programmed to produce the truth or think about the answer. It’s programmed to paste a word, figure out what the most likely next word is, paste that word, and repeat. It’s also programmed to follow human orders as long as those order abide by its rules. If you tell it the sky is pink, then the sky is pink.
I personally use LibreOffice as an alternative to docs and sheets. It took me a second to figure everything out, but it works well enough.
I don’t really like their slideshow or drawing programs though. They don’t work well
Edit: I took a quick look at Cryptpad and they also seem like a good option
