> Does all software need to have AI features now

All software where it makes sense, yes. AI/LLM are a tool, especially efficient with text, so having terminal integration will be useful to some.

Honestly if an AI can annotate some obscure command line errors with an explanation and a possible fix, I'm all for it. If an AI can help me generate jq filters, I'm all for it. If an AI can help me in any (non intrusive/obnoxious) way, I'm all for it.

It's ok to not like and not use AI features, but completely rejecting them altogether is a mistake.

Appreciate your response. In my opinion, I don't want my terminal to have AI integration. I don't like the idea of AI-generated code being a single key-press away from being sent to a remote server. Others may disagree with that opinion, which is fine too.
