You're right. I just read the article not the release notes so I assumed they were shoving this in a software I really enjoy. Thought Id have to find a replacment.

My exact reaction to everything corpo llms push.

Usually im thinking, huh, I actually have a brain, so I dont need a single thing theyre offering (which is really nothing that hasn't been around for 15 years, chatbots).
