apple and microsoft have historically provided ways of turning off features that their corporate customers don't want. I doubt this will be any different.

iTerm AI feature was off by default and you had to manually insert a valid key, but it seems it was still an issue.
The change notes nor the UI do not imply this.

All this needs was a single checkbox “Disable OpenAI Integration” or codecierge or whatever it’s called. A single, unequivocal “this is not enabled” signal to the user who does not want or cannot what this feature enabled.

But how is that different from a UI which is the equivalent of a “enable openai integration” checkbox??

You needed the word “Disable” in there?

Yes? Or maybe my CISO does?

These things should be as unambiguous as the "webcam is on" LED.
