@abucci I loathe ai as much as the next luddite but clicking through to the original news post it feels like an overstatement about an opt-in experimental mode (which is not clear is a replace vs alongside mode).
@picklish You're right, and I edited my post. Thanks for noting this. I skimmed the Google blog post but didn't read it carefully before I posted myself. That was sloppy on my part.
@abucci (no worries! sorry to be pedantic, and it feels weird to defend something as being not as bad as it sounds; just some feeling on my part about wanting to be mad about what's actually happening these days, so I try to click through when I can)
