Quote from Dash's article- "Just give people the 'shut off the AI features' button. It's a tiny percentage of people who want it, but they're never going to shut up about it, and they're convinced they're the whole world and they can't distinguish between being mad at big companies and being mad at a technology so give them a toggle switch and write up a blog post explaining how extraordinarily expensive it is to maintain a configuration option over the lifespan of a product." I don't think I've ever seen that much projection outside of a movie theatre. What a whiny, creepy thing to say, especially since Firefox already has toggles for every other feature buried in about:config. This would be the single smallest, simplest thing to do, and Dash is framing it like it's some sort of Sisyphean task. Asking for consent isn't that hard, dude.

Screenshot from the Work Trends PDF: AI collaboration Each step of this report was created in close collaboration with AI. Copilot, along with agents built in Copilot Studio, helped in survey building and data and statistical analysis; narrative building, writing, and editing; the creative development of illustrations and data visuals; and more. All AI-generated work was closely managed, reviewed, and improved upon by humans.
