A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I agree. I was all about to go up in arms about it when I saw that menu but then I was immediately relieved when I saw they've put the "Remove AI Chatbot" option right below it. They know their userbase very well and know that even though some people desire AI features to play with, a lot of us find it immediately repugnant and a show stopper so I think it's an ok way to appease both, provided that the AI wasn't active in the background until we had a chance to notice this menu and disable it.
As long as they don't pull a Microsoft and increasingly try to force it down our throats when they realise that nobody wants it.
