While I can see the merit of your sentiment here, and would generally agree the world exists on a spectrum and not some binary scale of yes or no, black or white. Like others have said, with mottos like “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” how can one ignore the bad that Microsoft brings to the table.
AI isn’t a magic bullet. Sure it has it’s uses, but you have to weigh it’s usefulness to the ideology behind a project and it’s creators. Just because a software developer or community doesn’t embrace AI doesn’t mean they will be “obsolete.”
AI is the current trend that is being shoehorned into everything. I mean literally everything. I don’t think we need AI touching everything.
I don’t want or need AI crammed into my desktop environment. And I surely don’t want it interjecting into my filesystem with my data. It is a privacy concern. And many of other people will feel the same or similarly as I do.
AI is a tool, and with all tools: use the appropriate tool for the job.
