This is a case of “do what you do, but you can’t win”.

I kind of understand why the icon of copying AI conversation was changed, but similar sharing buttons are confusing. Especially when the first button isn’t for sharing, but for selecting and copying.

Should this need re-considering?

The default share is the link icon so I don’t think this duplication is default, right?

Though it’s weird anyway… we call that button “share ai conversation” but it’s really “copy this post” maybe this copy icon would be a better fit:
