Bugfixes won't make shareholders happy while shoving AI down our throats will.

In what way is "AI being shoved down you throat"? Did you think that SwiftUI was shoved down your throat? Did you think that CoreData was shoved down your throat. Perhaps develop a more nuanced critique.

Well yes but actually no.

For the last ~15 years or so I only use Xcode on the command line sporadically. Prior to that I had to endure the full Xcode experience. I actually liked it between crashes!

Ask Microsoft, they have much more experience with that.

> Did you think that SwiftUI was shoved down your throat?

On a scale of 1 to 10, it has been shoved down our throats at level 1 or maybe 2. Thankfully it's optional.

> Did you think that CoreData was shoved down your throat

No.

> Perhaps develop a more nuanced critique.

I believe most people who used Xcode perfectly know what I'm talking about.

This is a very strange question. It more correct to ask "In what way is AI NOT being shoved down your throat".

> Did you think that SwiftUI was shoved down your throat?

Yes

> Did you think that CoreData was shoved down your throat.

No

Copilot being added to the Xbox app on iOS is the latest ridiculous example I've seen of AI being shoved down everyone's throat.

it really is getting ridiculous; atlassian has this other totally useless ai called rovo that invents events/meetings and notes when it tries to summarize a tree of documents and offers random useless "suggestions" for jira docs...

How are you forced to use it in Xcode? If you don't opt to use it then you don't see it.

I saw multiple comments on HN complaining about Firefox adding AI. I use FF every day and what happened is there was a single popup asking you if you want to opt in to try using it next to an icon you can hide. In the year since I said no to both I haven’t been bothered once.

People just like to complain
