I scratched this brain itch here, please consider weighing in!

We had local "AI" features for years, it's just a glorify marketing term nowadays. Sure the advance made in LLM has changed the space but there was "AI" app on F-Droid for years before ChatGPT was public for exemple TIDY. I guess that if it uses an external non-free service it will be flag but if it's 100% local and FOSS why complaining about tech people develop under free licences?
