  I don’t game, nor do I use Windows or generally install software via random executables (package managers ftw) — all that to say, “do AI installation wizards really exist?”

    If they don’t yet, I’m certain they will in the near future.

    btw “package manager” is just a way to categorize your “random” execs. plenty of nonsense sneaks in. please still review your exec sources.

      I mean, generally package managers are hosted by a trusted party that screens execs before making them available. But yeah, still think about where you get your software from.

        That’s why the Microsoft store is the best place to get applications on windows./s

      There’s a difference between installing from (hopefully) a trusted source than going to some random website and downloading a fucking executable.

      And I’m not even getting into fake download ads on Google or the multitude of other problems that come along with this style of software installation.

    an AI installation wizard is one of those openclaw bots installed on your machine with root permissions and you tell it to install firefox

      So a package manager with extra steps? Even windows has a package manager what’s the point of an AI install wizard?
