“This can’t be real. It’s unbelievable that they quietly enabled this.”
Who is paying for an office subscription? I know businesses utilize office, but there are several FOSS options that I’m aware of and have used, and I’m not even a FOSS prosletyzer. I even used them in college with zero issues. Individuals shouldn’t even be bothering with this crap.

Misrepresenting the article. Title is “Is Microsoft scraping Word and Excel data to train AI models?” and the site explicitly states “However, The Stack has learned that these concerns are inaccurate, and Microsoft has denied claims that it is feeding private information to large language models.”
They’re open to tips but presently its not actually being claimed anywhere.

The article was originally published under "Microsoft is scraping Word and Excel data to “train AI models” which comes directly from my RSS feed.
I don’t agree with the decision to change the title and the whole argument based on a proven liar denial, hence me keeping that original title.
