We have made a good start on #AI integration in @zaproxy.org
We know some of you will be very anti-AI, so this will be optional and opt-in.
We have lots of plans, but feedback also appreciated - what integrations would you really like to see .. or not see?

Sorry, we messed up!
A new scan rule triggered the ZAP Check for Updates call even if you used the "silent" mode.
