Ethical AI rating unclear with thread summaries

[ChristophWurst]

Steps to reproduce

1. Run Nextcloud 27.1
2. Install the Mail app
3. ???
4. Enable thread summaries in Mail

Expected behavior

I am aware of the ethics of the system

Actual behavior

Data might leave the system, or might not leave the system. I depends on what text processing API implementation is installed.

@DaphneMuller @marcelklehr how was this solved/documented in other apps that use the new text processing APIs?

[ChristophWurst]

We could duplicate and merge https://github.com/nextcloud/llm/blob/c64b29e623dcbf3a6aeed1700e9bd5d693dd7aba/README.md#L20-L28 and https://github.com/nextcloud/integration_openai/blob/38cc3a1c09e3950be3222a8147e170ffc5e9045a/README.md#L15-L76 into this app's readme and app description but it's going to be very complex, long text and likely out of sync with the upstream rating at some point.

[ChristophWurst]

I've also created nextcloud/documentation#10985 in case we want to explain the integration and implications of ethical AI in a more generic way and have the app docs link there.

[DaphneMuller]

We listed the multiple options and gave them multiple colours, for example, https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/ai/index.html?highlight=ethi

@DaphneMuller Should I add thread summaries to the table?
