No AI; not now, not ever

Posted on February 12, 2026, under FocusWriter, Programming

I just realized I had not made my stance on the current “AI” nonsense public, so this is a small post to remedy that oversight!

I am fundamentally opposed to LLMs for ethical, environmental, and sociological reasons. I am not going to waste time going over why LLMs are problematic. I will never use an LLM, and I will never merge any code or documentation that has been tainted by one.

I will never add an AI assistant to FocusWriter: your words are your own, and are safe. I obviously can’t protect what happens to them outside of my work, but I can promise that I will never add that garbage to FocusWriter.
