Not just AI, either. Apps are always scrambling to add useless features to justify the use of their app over others.
I wish i could uBlock features and sections of apps themselves like i do on websites. You wouldn't believe jow far down you can streamline a website after blocking all irrelevant content.

My favorite so far is the DeepL website. I only use it occasionally but got annoyed at having to scroll down past their bullshit to get to the actual thing i wanted.
Solved that one real quick!

My favorite so far is the DeepL website.

Used to be so simple and clean, but they've added more and more garbage to it over time, and I feel like the quality of their translations is also just somehow getting worse.

Yeah honestly if a program doesn't have a global off switch for everything AI then I immediately search for an alternative.
