Ask Microsoft, they have much more experience with that.

On a scale of 1 to 10, it has been shoved down our throats at level 1 or maybe 2. Thankfully it's optional.

No.

I believe most people who used Xcode perfectly know what I'm talking about.
How are you forced to use it in Xcode? If you don't opt to use it then you don't see it.
I saw multiple comments on HN complaining about Firefox adding AI. I use FF every day and what happened is there was a single popup asking you if you want to opt in to try using it next to an icon you can hide. In the year since I said no to both I haven’t been bothered once.
People just like to complain
> In what way is "AI being shoved down you throat"?
This is a very strange question. It more correct to ask "In what way is AI NOT being shoved down your throat".
> Did you think that SwiftUI was shoved down your throat?
Yes

No
Copilot being added to the Xbox app on iOS is the latest ridiculous example I've seen of AI being shoved down everyone's throat.
it really is getting ridiculous; atlassian has this other totally useless ai called rovo that invents events/meetings and notes when it tries to summarize a tree of documents and offers random useless "suggestions" for jira docs...
In what way is "AI being shoved down you throat"? Did you think that SwiftUI was shoved down your throat? Did you think that CoreData was shoved down your throat. Perhaps develop a more nuanced critique.
