This comment will be about the reasons people don't like this feature, but without restating the obvious.

Okay.
> I’ll be liable for breaching my NDA if that gets sent to some network service.
Right...
> government regulatory requirements prohibit the use of software with so-called "AI" features for certain tasks
Sure...
> Hate to be that guy, but it is not configured by default, not disabled. It should be disableable feature even if OpenAI key is entered, for example.
Uh huh...
> Similar working position to Tom N & Matt B above, I'm working in an organisation where any knowledge of our products must not be allowed to leak within or outside the company.
Right Stephen, sure, how did we not think of that...
> I rolled back the update on my end, but my pihole shows some openai queries from my Mac. It's hard to say whether it was iTerm o not as I use chat gpt on the browser.
Hmmm...
I don't really know the specifics of the feature, I don't use iTerm2. It sounds like you can opt-in (I'm going to avoid using the word enable or configure) to a feature that uses OpenAI's API to auto-complete terminal commands.
It's a macOS application, these users visit the wider Internet, they are already receiving personalized Apple and Google networked experiences, they are already sending a lot of telemetry. Let's suppose OpenAI, like Apple and Google, makes a good-faith effort to protect your data and keeps its promises about not using API driven calls for training in a way that could leak private information to other OpenAI users. Don't litigate this, there's nothing to serve in the interest of curiosity here.
Is there an objective, secular, non-vibes basis for being this pissed off about a new feature?
Why do people draw the line at some kinds of telemetry, but not others?
