Provide a build without ChatGPT integration (#11470) · Issues · George Nachman / iterm2 · GitLab

May 23, 2024 - gitlab.com
The author of the markdown data expresses concern over the integration of OpenAI's ChatGPT API in iTerm2 3.5.0, a terminal emulator for macOS. The author is worried about the potential privacy risks, fearing that everything they type could be sent to an external server. They also express concern about the possibility of random commands being executed in their shell, potentially as root. The author states their preference for a version of iTerm2 without any remote communication capabilities, including OpenAI, remote syntax highlighting, remote autocomplete, web search, or mail reader.

As a temporary solution, the author has disabled automatic updates in iTerm2 to avoid the 3.5.0 version. However, they acknowledge that this is not a sustainable long-term solution and express the possibility of reverting to Apple Terminal. The author also raises broader concerns about the increasing integration of machine learning models in the world and the growing complexity of software due to creeping featurism.
