If HA goes down the rabbit hole of shoe-horning in AI that gives wrong answers because it doesn't know something but must give a convincing response, I will riot.

From the notes: “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.”

That's for now. Let's hope some AI diehard doesn't take over any time soon.
