"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It seems like this is more for third-party agents users install that will need to request access to permissions in order to have that functionality.
I'd say I think it's dumb, will never use it, and would also prefer it not exist, but I'm not going to lose sleep over functionality that users have to go out of their way to turn on...
But that's just the slippery slope argument that will inevitably precede apps everywhere making AI access to your data mandatory to work. Just like when phone permissions became granular and now a recipes app refuses to work if you don't give it access to your contacts.
