You don't "uncheck the OpenAI checkbox". You check the box if you want to use it, and you provide an API key. Hooking genAI up to your terminal is sort of one of the obvious use cases for this tech, and they're just providing you with the hooks to use it if you like.

As much as I dislike the current trend of "AI ALL THE THINGS", I don't think supporting it as a completely optional feature is in any way problematic.

There is no checkbox for that, at least I can't find any and I've been looking quite hard.

There is:

- a text input field for the OpenAI API key (by default empty)

- a text input field named "AI Prompt"

- a "Model" dropdown (which doesn't have a "None" option)

- ...and a Token Limit number input field

...that's it. It also doesn't say anywhere that the key field being empty means that the feature is disabled.

A better UI design would have been a checkbox at the top that's disabled by default, and all the detailed UI fields being greyed out and disabled until that checkbox is enabled.
