Remember when pop up ads were the worst?
Then:
“Hello, IT? I visited the wrong Whitehouse website and now there’s pictures of naked women popping up faster than I can close them.”
Now:
“Hello, IT? I clicked a reference on Wikipedia and now my computer is overwriting our cloud servers to generate trans porn of the entire board of directors.”

Honestly I’m pretty bullish on ai but that’s the step too far. I had the same when they released warp (ai enhanced terminal). I finished installing it then before even starting it once I realized I was about to give an ai access to my dotfiles etc… that was the fastest I ever uninstalled something.
