I totally agree. It's a major indicator that you're not on the same page with your manager, at the very least. The outcome is unlikely to be great, so use it

I totally agree. It's a major indicator that you're not on the same page with your manager, at the very least. The outcome is unlikely to be great, so use it as an opportunity to make your departure more on your own terms. Also, I've met more than a few managers over the years that never use a PIP unless they've already given up on the employee. It's a checkbox at that point to make HR happy, there is going to be no possible redemption.
