ngl this comment triggered me lol:

their product management must be completely dysfunctional because they keep shoving that stupid rovo ai in every frequently clicked area now and causes accidental rewrites of pages im working on... or page summaries that literally hallucinate meeting notes for meetings that never happened... like do they even care about customers are actually wanting to do or just shove dysfunctional ai that nobody wants

atlassian suite was functionally fine prior to AI, i have noticed nothing but constant downgrades to the UX since. for example, summarizing a Jira ticket with AI achieves nothing useful (seeing as a Jira ticket is in itself a summarization) while burning compute, clogging the visual spectrum, and slowing down rendering. has anyone actually benefitted from AI being thrown everywhere in this service?
No. No it wasn't. It has been despised at least 10 years
