How to disable or avoid intrusive AI

A librarian at Drop-In Time is creating a handout to help library patrons disable or avoid intrusive AI features in their technology, targeting users who prefer less AI in their environment. The guide will cover basic AI-removal and avoidance techniques, and the librarian invites community input via comments or email.

One of the biggest questions I get at Drop-In Time at the library (besides “what is taking up all my cloud storage?”) is how to disable or avoid intrusive AI that shows up where people don’t want it. I’m going to make a handout that explains how to do some of the basic AI-removal or AI-avoidance things. This is a guide for people who would like less intrusive AI in their tech environment. Maybe you like AI and find it useful? That’s fine, this document is probably not for you. Additions/edits welcome. Leave a comment or drop me an email. This page is available at the short URL
