Me too. I don't want AI, and if it's there, I want to be able to completely remove it. Zed is forcing it, so I'm staying on VSCodium.

What's forcing AI in Zed though?

agent.enabled = false and it's gone, no?

Probably also requires an api key, no? So would be difficult to force.

I have a firewall, OpenSnitch, so don’t have to worry much about programs trying to connect. But definitely would prefer they don’t unless directed.

How does zed handle it?

There's a pair of config settings to turn off all of the AI features:

features.edit_prediction_provider=none agent.enabled=false

There's additional config to set if inline assistance is automatic, only when the user presses a key, fully disabled, etc.

I’d prefer an option at first start perhaps, to turn it on.
That might be how it works, I haven't been through the new user flow in a while.
