AI bloat

Hello @sgpro

My name is Mehedi, and I’m the Product Manager here at Spectra.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the AI Assistant. We understand that the AI Assistant may not be relevant for everyone, and we want to ensure that Spectra meets the diverse needs of all our users.

To address your concern, we’ve made it easy to disable the AI Assistant. You can do this by navigating to the Spectra menu -> AI Features -> Manage AI Features. Here is a reference screenshot for your convenience: https://d.pr/i/mSn55v

Disabling the AI Assistant will remove the AI sidebar in the editor and stop any associated resources from loading.

Again, thank you for sharing your feedback, which we take very seriously. It is disheartening to see such reviews, as we work really hard to include new features in Spectra to ensure our users have a great experience.

Regards,
Mehedi Hasan

Hi @sgpro,

I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to follow up on the feedback you shared about the AI Assistant in Spectra. We appreciate you taking the time to voice your concerns.

As mentioned in our previous response, you can easily disable the AI Assistant by following the steps provided. If you’ve had a chance to try this out, we’d love to hear if this solution has improved your experience with Spectra.

If there’s anything else we can do to enhance your experience, please let us know. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we’re committed to making Spectra the best it can be.

Thank you again for your time, and we hope to continue improving your experience with Spectra.

How about giving users the option to choose to opt in with a prompt, instead of opting users in by default without their consent?

This review will stay up as long as it has to, until companies start respecting consumer rights and stop shoving AI down their throats

Hello @sgpro

It’s Mehedi again and I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and share your thoughts .

In developing Spectra, we strive to strike a balance between offering innovative features and respecting user preferences. For features that we believe will genuinely help the user, we enable them by default. For others that may not be universally beneficial, we keep them optional. However, in all cases, we ensure that there’s always an option to enable or disable these features based on your needs.

Our goal is to continuously improve Spectra and add value for our users. If every new feature were kept optional from the start, the software would struggle to evolve and meet the growing needs of our community. We want Spectra to be a tool that grows and improves with time, offering features that add real value to your experience.

We appreciate your feedback and respect your perspective. We’re always here to help if you have any other questions or concerns.

Regards,
Mehedi Hasan
