Hi everyone, officially closing this suggestion ticket now that the issue has been addressed. Do reach out to support if you are still seeing the text in empty lines.

I think they changed it? Now it's only shown when the entire page is empty, i. e. when creating a new page.

But it's no longer shown on empty lines with the cursor. Yay.

It would be great if AI was a button in the UI instead of the /ai command.  Just my 2 cents.

As this is getting more obnoxious now, can we find a pragmatic workaround, please? Like a greasemonkey script or something? I mean, this prompt is now basically attached to the cursor. It's ridiculous.

I used to see this at the start of a new blank page, which seemed reasonable ... but now I get it on every single new line of any page I create or edit, which seems a little excessive (and distracting).

I understand that there is likely an Atlassian marketing imperative driving this 'feature', but this falls firmly in the category of offensive marketing with the potential to drive away skilled IT decision-makers in droves.

By all means, leave this on by default, but:

1. It must be able to be turned off in user preferences. Every single time I see this prompt, I think: "Maybe we need to find a new platform". That's every time I edit anything in an Atlassian product. I have been the decision maker who brought Atlassian to a few companies, and I'm not retiring any time soon. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
2. The entire AI functionality should really be able to be turned off for a whole organization. Any organization with core-business imperatives around intellectual property (e.g. any type of publishing, any work adjacent to IP regulation, etc) will need to be able to prove that they have not used this feature and are not using it. These companies will need to be able to do this at setup time.
   Note: This is regardless of how Atlassian implement their AI assistant; there are no robust standards for clean AI yet, and until these exist and stabilise for a few years, it won't matter how clean you are: All AI-derived content will be a problem. 

If you do not intend to remove this feature, please consider at least making a prominent detailed statement about your position on this available on every product site.

Thank you.

I'll echo Charles Mim. I can remember /ai, you don't need to stick it on every single new line.

I don't want to use the ai. My lack of engagement with it is because it's not appropriate for what I am doing, which is recording very specific information which is in my head, into wiki form.

I understand you have invested in ai, I understand you have ai capabilities. Everyone does. We get it. Message received. Now stop pestering us.

It is super disturbing. First you create a really nice editing experience, and then throw it all away with this irritating 'write assistance'.

Should we already order T-shirts with the tag '10 years AI-3'? I really hope not.

I'm so surprised that Atlassian is letting this happen, it seriously makes me want to quit using confluence, it's that bad. I know they understand how hard it is to write and get work done. That distraction every time is infuriating.
