On second thought, maybe they're doing the right thing. Offering what the competition does with improved privacy and the option to switch it off completely. I personally think LLMs are pretty bad at real-life queries, but ultimately the users will have to decide.

What typically happens is that they mess up, but their malfunctioning code still has something in it that I hadn't considered, which leads me in the right direction. They have their place in terms of helpfulness when you can't or don't want to wait for someone.
