"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

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.
