> Enable_AI COULD have the connotation (to some) of just enabling the visibility of the feature, whereas Disable_AI gives more of a sense of shutting it off.

Personally, I don't feel much difference between the two. I doubt that an average reasonable person would either.



Well, I do feel a distinct connotational difference, but then again, I could be the only one I suppose. And if the average person doesn't care, then why argue about it at all? And how many average people will be using Zed anyway?


> why argue about it at all

Because double negatives are confusing. Enable_AI = true is much clearer than Disable_AI = false.
