Assuming you're unhappy with this (I am neutral on it), I'm actually curious: what do you lose by iTerm2 having an opt-in feature that you don't need to use? How do you replace all the lost features of iTerm2 that aren't in Terminal.app? And if there aren't any features you're losing out on, why did you even switch to iTerm2?
Uhh, I don't understand. It's an open-source project with a ton of eyeballs on it. Are you saying that someone is going to sneak in a change to exfiltrate all keystrokes in a massively popular terminal app without anyone noticing? Is this risk new somehow?
I guarantee this is the beginning of iTerm2 becoming a closed-source paid product. Oh, I'm sure there will always be an "open source" version of it, but we have all seen this movie before.
I fail to see how this is not a slippery slope argument. A feature was added to a GPL’d open-source project, and said feature relies on a third party (OpenAI) in order to work.
