I don’t understand the author’s complaint - are the AI agents forcibly installing themselves on your computer? Are they shipping these agents without settings to change permission seeking behavior?

This is just a rant about something you absolutely don’t have to do

Windows is heading in that direction.

>Microsoft re-enables disabled abc after xyz

>Microsoft launches shitfoo; users livid they can't disable it

If I had a dollar for every time one of these headlines has scrolled across my screen.. just recently CoPilot has drawn the ire of devs who don't want it involved with their repos.

If you think MS isn't interested in shoving all this down your throat on Windows at the earliest opportunity, then I dunno what to tell you. But people are allowed to have opinions on things and TFA is just that.

They say during the gold rush, the people selling shovels made more money than the miners themselves. AI has a similar pattern. Those profiting from AI hype it relentlessly. Meanwhile the butthurts with nothing to sell become the loudest critics, just to stay relevant.

We get it guys. AI sucks and you don't like it. You need not turn yourself into a parrot. Nobody's in the market for your outrage.
