My biggest problem with AI is that currently it is a very shitty tool that outputs nonsense 9 out of 10 times while big tech pretends it is totally awesome, which like you say, makes it being forced on you even more frustrating.
Is it here to stay? Yes I believe so. But it needs a lot of work in a lot of area's to be truly useful.
Binged all seasons with my gf. Started season 5 and gave up after 2 episodes. We found it utterly boring. I think it just has been too long and they should have called it quits after season 4.
If you want to try something fresh, give mangowc a try. It is a tiling wm but also has built-in support for scrolling layouts like Niri (even vertical).
