Its disgusting that AI has been forced into everything, I dont want it on my phone or on my computer.
Have you all actually explored the sneaky hidden menus in our phones and how much data they are collecting from everything like where you live, where you go, what you purchase, on and on...... and you CANT turn it off. Your phones are taking pictures of you and so are your computers and tv.
I'm about ready to disconnect my internet and get a land line because when things are forced and you dont have a choice anymore this is where it goes bad.

Don't use Google search, do not use LLMs (what is called AI which is nonexistent) and use browsers that forgo Google as the default search. Unless one wants to totally disconnect from the digital world, as there are only a few options to limit or avoid it as much as possible.
Use what is called a dumbphone that has no LLM or built-in tracking or corporate operated functions. Use a web browser like Duck Duck Go which does not use Google, or even LibreWolf (takes a small learning curve) browser for PC which makes Duck Duck Go the default search. Or use what was once a very strong safe browser but now gimped, yet still pretty good in the TOR browser.

Samsung hardware in particular uses Knox to prevent bootloader unlocking. Full removal requires flashing a de-Googled OS, which requires an unlocked bootloader. Doing this blows the efuse and permanently disables several core functions.
Buy a Pixel and run GrapheneOS. Run Linux on your PC.
Google, Samsung, Microsoft, and even Apple are all in on AI. They have to be because of fiduciary duty. As long as shareholders demand AI, it will continue to be a prominent feature.

Settings > Galaxy AI, I do not know how to do this Harry Potter magic, but there should be a switch at the top.
