AI LLMs are not profitable because they are not the product, we are the product (our data - our information, our privacy, our identity, our needs, our desires, our family photos/videos, etc.).

So no, the AI "feature" cannot be turned off, because it needs to be active and continuously spying on us and leeching our data to "train" them to spy better and more intrusively.

All so we get targeted ads everywhere that are more tightly coupled to our lives, and so our lives can be dictated, controlled and exploited by the powers that be.

There is a crude version of such a button but it might no be what you want: the No Microsoft button. It behaves just like its siblings, the No Google, No Apple and all the other No ${undesirable_company} buttons. As long as you allow any of those companies access to your data they will be used for whatever purposes they consider beneficial to their competitiveness and/or bottom lines. Should this be found it it generally was a 'mistake' which will be 'rectified' and the dance continues. The only way to win this game is to refuse playing it, How a bout a nice game of chess?

No we don't. We need to enforce the preexisting ones.

Like including only Internet Explorer in your OS? :)

We already have that
