Remove AI-Assistant and the Trend of Development

[l44vi.h4nnula]

I can see that the "assistant" has returned to Fusion after a recent update. Is there still really no option to permanently remove / hide it from the viewport or Fusion in its entirety? 

I, and frankly probably most of the power users, have no need for said AI-function and would prefer to have the option to have it gone. The hover functionality is completely unnecessary, as the popup assistant hogs noticeable area of the screen every time I move my cursor over it. This coupled with the fact that most pop-up windows (export, extrude, fillet, pattern..) take the same space and get covered by the AI-window at times, interrupting the workflow and making things overly difficult. Attachment is to demonstrate the issue.

I even went ahead and asked the AI how to remove it permanently, and after failing to provide any usable guidance it gave me instructions on how to delete my Autodesk account. Frankly, if the current trend of development is toward embedded AI-workflow, unnecessary workspace pop-ups, non-reliable recovery files and still no Linux support to speak of I just as well might go ahead and do that. While this is a bit off topic, I'd like Autodesk to do market research and to see what sells and what users like at the core of Fusion. At our university (~25,000 students), Inventor and Fusion lost in the selection process for the next primary educational CAD/CAM tool to a competitor offering system-agnostic, cloud-based modeling capabilities similar to Fusion, largely due to the aforementioned issues.

I second everything you said, the latest update really made things unstable and slower at the very least. That AIslop should just go or at the very least we, who don't want anything to do with it, should have the option to turn it off. 

Another funny note on how this technology is nothing beyond executive-fed hype, in the chat-bot space there is a warning that goes like "mistakes are possible, check everything", imagine if any company outside the AI bubble released something with a warning that said "this product may not work properly".

And while we deal with this jank, there is nothing about adding actually useful stuff such as linux support or sketch blocks (sketch blocks are a feature in Inventor, why were they never added on Fusion?)

It's infuriating that this is forced on users. 

I do not want this, I do not need this. 

Should the software have it for newer users, sure; but why do we have no ability to turn this off. I do not want this in my work area at all.

Education Admins need to be able to turn this off for all of their students. Can this be added to the admin console please?

The thing is still there. I mean, it's clear by now that Altman's emotional blackmail paid off and most tech execs suffer from FOMO, but that doesn't make their toys any more useful than the dumb first-week intern they are at this point. Plus, they consume resources, both in our computers and natural resources. Yes, there are some people who intentionally use makeshift tools, but most of us are just sick and tired of digital manure.
