That's not true: there's some menu items and supporting code by default.

Still, the menu item is not interacting with AI without you explicit configuring it.

I bet if you click it without any configuration will give you an error message.

How many inactive menu items that error out when clicked on is acceptable? Are we ok with a Microsoft Word style ribbon of controls that do nothing?

If UI bugs are really the issue, then one just sends patches to the upstream project - I'm sure the maintainers will be happy to receive fixes for broken menus. A fork for this is useless, and guaranteed to be abandoned.

Not just useless but another fork that only confounds newcomers and users looking for help. We can be generally opposed to AI without making it a boogeyman.
