> iTerm 3.5.1 removes automatic OpenAI integration, requires opt-in This is an editorialized title. It was opt-in from the very beginning. Here's all the steps that was originally required: 1. Open settings, go to the General tab, click on the AI button. 2. Enter a paid API key 3. Close the settings 4. Click "Toolbelt" on the menu bar, and click on "Codecierge" 5. Click "Toolbelt" on the menu bar again, and click "Show toolbelt" 6. In the toolbelt, there's a textbox that you can type questions into. The textbox won't be shown if you didn't enter an API key. Only after submitting the question will the OpenAI integration be activated, and as I understand it, only for the current session. https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/a3122c0100d8900a15cb46def59429849d7991e1/images/Onboarding/Onboarding-AI.png https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/a3122c0100d8900a15cb... The initial implementation already took many many clicks to run. I literally had to do nothing to not use the feature and not once was I reminded about the feature after I chose to ignore it. Despite that, people were spreading rumors that entering an invalid API key would instantly cause iTerm to send all data to OpenAI. It's a straight up lie started by people who actually tested the feature and posted their findings on the GitLab thread about this feature. https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11475 https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11475 https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11470 https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11470 It gets worse, people in the GitLab thread were calling for dogpiles and fantasizing about inflicting violence on Mastodon.
