And that's why I either do not update, or only update apps that have 
indicated they will not use it for development or take PRs generated by 
such means.

I don't have time to police source code for every app I use. I don't 
have time to learn various languages and patterns in order to do so. If 
the maintainers and project leads haven't explicitly rejected so-called 
'AI' for their app, I simply will freeze it at an older version, or find 
an alternative app.

Fancy dashboards are nice toys to me. They are not a requirement and 
there are other solutions.

If I have no other choices at some point, I'll use a machine with no 
network connection, and baring that, go back to pen and paper. (though 
thankfully, any old & current version of GnuCash will work just fine for 
me needs for as long as I have working hardware.)

I don't succumb to the 'this crappy thing is ubiquitous now, accept it 
into your life and embrace it' crowd. No, no I will not.

Regards,
Adrien
