It's still a problem because users are opted in, as I've mentioned in many replies...If users don't push back, we get situations like Microsoft and their insane LLM shit being shoved in all their software/services/OS. It's the same "normalize and numb" tactics used by corporations to make end users more compliant to their forced integration of features in software, that aren't the best or helpful to that end user. It's not okay, nor is this an ordinary new feature. LLMs are being used to do a lot of disgusting things in the world by the ultra-wealthy and techbros wanting to control/influence the masses.
