I wrote a (satirical?) blog post about this behavior: https://candid.dev/blog/becoming-an-ai-company/

Every company seems to be throwing their backlog away and focusing on adding AI features no one asked for. Could be a lot of opportunity for startups that actually listen to their end users to gain some traction instead of chasing GenAI.

This made me actually look into it instead of just complaining on the internet. The feature I was referring to was the Conan package repository[1]. Apparently, Forgejo implemented support for that already[2], as well as other features that originally drew me to Gitlab in the first place.

I think it may be time to consider switching.
