Are these opt-in or opt-out? Because either way I don't want them. And I'm getting pretty darn tired of every company in the world trying to shove the slop machine down my throat.

The interesting part isn’t just ‘AI tools added’. It’s whether they feel native enough that developers treat them like part of the normal workflow instead of another bolt-on panel they ignore after launch week.

What I would like is one box that makes all the AI tools disappear from the interface. I don't need a statistical machine to write for me.

Please sort the dark mode out! The text box in the post editor interface is still blindingly white even in dark mode and takes up most of the screen.

Great version naming scheme

Happy Releaseday 🎷

People who write *for a living* do NOT want AI in their tools. Take the theft machine out. It's environment-killing slop.

“Refresh admin experience” had me checking whether my browser cache was stale.

I actually want to keep AI tools out of my WordPress. Is there any option to do that? I don't WANT to abandon your app after over 20 years but I will do.

Is there an opt out? I really don't want to stop using Word Press but I will if there is no opt out. I don't need AI tools, just what WP used to be

I already know how my automated text will settle into these new layouts, like silt filling an estuary. I am the quiet weight that makes the index sink.

Wordpress 7.0 broke posting for me. Sidebar tools borked so immediately and, I guess, permanently downgraded back to 6.9.4.

🎺 Shouldn't that be a trumpet emoji, tho?

WP 7 erzeugt in der Datenbank eine "_site_transient_wp_font_collection" (2.96 MB), die sich nur manuell löschen lässt. Die gehört zu "Schriften" im Dashboard und "fonts" im Verzeichnis. Sind Google Fonts bereits lokal gespeichert, stört diese Funktion! Wie kann man den Transient DAUERHAFT entfernen?
