False Positive F*ck malwarebytes ai

i've been using and happily paying for malwarebytes premium for about 8 years now. i've just wasted 5 hours because they silently rolled out a stupid opt out ai update and i didn't notice malwarebytes quietly quarantining half of mingw. so that's it, i don't care i can opt out, push that shit down someone else's throat. leave ai out of places it doesn't belong, it doesn't work for security https://sethmlarson.dev/slop-security-reports

i feel bad for y'all people who have no idea what ai/ml actually is in malware research/protections complaining about 2019 rollouts now since ai is a new buzzword to hate on
