Warp sends a terminal session to LLM without user consent
Wonder how being used feels like? One way to experience that is to discover that your terminal silently started to send command outputs to LLMs. Today, I got an LLM suggestion on how to fix a syntactic error after following an attempt to run a test. So, I went on to Warp's Discord to ask what's going on, and sure enough, their "Friendly support bot" and I discovered that. > Warp has introduced features like Prompt Suggestions and Next Command that use LLMs to provide contextual suggestions. These features are part of Warp's Active AI system, which proactively recommends fixes and next actions based on your terminal session, including errors, inputs, and outputs. "Proactively" here also means without explicit user consent. I did enjoy Warp, but that breach of trust is so enormous I'm removing it just now. This tells volumes about ethics and what's important.
