       @gamingonlinux There should be a way to remove all AI snaps without having to identify them. Microsoft has shown us how AI gets embedded in places the user would never expect.

       @gamingonlinux I don't use Ubuntu for many reason anymore, but as long as I see a "We have these AI features" prompt in the on boarding section, with controls to turn off and details of what is on device and what is not, then fine.My wife gets great benefit from LLMs because of her dyslexia and I would love to show her she can use them on Linux as well when needed, but without it being shoved down her throat, or giving away the entire family's data.
