AI don't trust techbros

Last time they made it impossible to uninstall a part of Windows that people hated, they got taken to court and it was a big deal. Can we make that happen again?

Antitrust laws aren't nearly as strong as they were in the 90's. That and this isn't being done to hurt other AI manufacturers, at least not directly. Copiolot is a licensed version of ChatGPT after all. It was Netscape and a couple of other browser developers that brought the lawsuit up in the 90's.

Sadly, consumer protection laws are also a fair bit weaker now than in the past... Looks like we may have to look towards the EU to save us(and then Microsoft will likely just have a separate build for the EU)

The EU should put a clause in banning the company from doing business there unless they extend the same protections to all customers in all countries. That'd be wild.
