Nothing in the changelog indicated that “OpenAI is now snooping around”. There is an optional feature that you need to set up yourself if you want to use it. Why do you feel like you need to deliberately misunderstand the post as soon as you read the term “AI” somewhere?

None of that is remotely clear when updating through the iTerm2 auto-update popup for a minor version update.

The Preferences panel doesn't have a single indicator which says whether the AI integration is activated or not. It's probably just bad UI design and not mischief, but I was instantly put off by what initially looked like a dark pattern.

PS: even the changelog doesn't explicitly state that the feature is disabled by default, only indirectly by stating that one needs an OpenAI key because requests cost money.

The changelog reads

> You will need to provide an OpenAI API key since GPT costs money to use.

One can only misinterpret that to mean the feature is auto-enabled accidentally on purpose. The fact that you cared to edit your comment with that excuse but didn't retract even a single falsehood you spread all over this thread is bad enough. But to continue to pretend that it doesn't require a paid API key even after you explicitly acknowledged that it does? Outright malicious.

> AFAIK using OpenAI through the webpage doesn't cost money, why should I assume that using it through the REST API is any different?

It's literally mentioned in the changelog:

> It requires you to supply an OpenAI API key.
