Though AI gets many people excited, there are still people who would prefer not to have this technology in their smart homes. We want to accommodate everyone’s choices, whether that’s to use AI or not. These features won’t appear unless you set up an AI integration and configure some specific settings.

Absolutely forced.

Uninstalled.

The guy was complaining AI was being forced on people while the change notes take extra care to address that point in the first paragraphs.

I thought the sarcasm was obvious but seeing the reaction here...

I assumed so as well, but the crazy replies from people that don't seem to want to listen or read are blurring the lines a bit. Live chat on the stream has some wackos too.
