I don’t get the hate for AI. Being able to get rid of google/alexa devices and self host all that functionality is a huge upgrade for me. I love to see continuing improvements and functionality to that

I don't hate the AI stuff for Home Assistant, and intend to someday even utilize it. I do, however, wish they would priority some other longstanding issues, like a comprehensive guest mode.
