On the other hand, I like AI integration.

In iTerm's case, I like this ability to cmd+Y -> "start a static http server here" -> it responds "python3 -m http.server 8000" and I easily shift+enter to run it.

As opposed to alt-tabbing to my browser, opening an LLM (or google, yuck), asking it a question, and the copy and pasting stuff back into my terminal. That might be the familiar / old way of doing everything but it's not the pinnacle of workflows.

I know that was just an example, but if you're doing it that often, why not create a `start-static-server` script/alias? And if you're not doing it often enough to justify that, is the difference in workflow really significant?
Because that question can be swapped for 1000s of other one-off questions I might have over time, like "use find to delete all node_modules folders below this directory" or "use jq to extract the username key from each obj in a top level array".
