Some behind the uproar was acting in extremely bad faith. People were and still are making claims that the initial implementation can make it easy to accidentally send all of your keystrokes to OpenAI. This is not how the feature works at all. It needs explicit user interaction to use. You open the "Codesierge" toolbox and type in a question, which is a lot of clicks and typing. Yet people are posting on Mastodon and elsewhere that "accidentally" setting the API key to a non-empty value in preferences is enough to make iTerm2 send every keystroke to a third party. Worse yet, someone pointed out in the GitLab thread that there's a call for violence against the dev by one of the participants. And sure enough, there it was on Mastodon and it's quite horrific. iTerm2 is a gift. The dev makes his ideal terminal and we can use it if we like it. Feedbacks are fine and from my past experience welcomed, but this is something else entirely.
