If AI is so useful in EVERY, SINGLE product, and companies are so confident in it's usefulness in those products, then why do so few products include an option to turn it off, which would allow measuring how many people actually want it? 🤔

I'm happy that at least that one's more subtle and there if you need it, but behind content menus. Context menus seems the right place for that. It's products that shove it in place of muscle memory locations, or knocking out other UI items due to limited real estate that really annoys me!

You mean like this garishly out-of-place button here? ;) Or when you hover over items in the network tab. I agree it could be (much) worse, and I think the bottom of the context menu is okay and helps discoverability. That blue button isn't great though.

I'd forgotten that blue one was there to be honest! If it was put all the way to the right and taken over the cog settings icon, I'd be totally in agreement with you cause that would majorly disrupt my muscle memory!! Agree the network tab item one can be annoying (especially in small windows).

Saying that, DevTools was guilty of that too initially (putting it at the TOP of context menus when we initially launched) but thankfully sanity prevailed and feedback was listened too. Something that's sadly lacking for most other products...
