    When I have asked how to disable the “AI assistant” (in quotes because it is not intelligent and it does not assist me), I have gotten instructions on how to disable it, in several steps!, when I am creating a new post. It should not be this difficult to disable. I should be able to switch it off permanently with a toggle button.

    I’ve been a loyal paying customer for years, and it’s so disrespectful that you’re jamming this into my website without my consent. I am a creative writer with a writing blog. I am the last person to need or want your AI assistant, which aims to rip all of the individuality out of my voice so that it can be better parsed by other computers. I write for humans.

    Hi @bryndonovan

    Thank you for your honest feedback — I can completely understand how frustrating it must feel to have something show up in your writing experience that you didn’t ask for. We absolutely hear you.

    To fully and permanently disable the Jetpack AI features, you can add the following code snippet to your site using a plugin like Code Snippets:

    add_filter( 'jetpack_ai_enabled', '__return_false' );

    Once that’s in place, Jetpack AI will be completely disabled across your site.

    You’re also not alone in wanting a simpler way to toggle this off — we’ve got an open GitHub issue for exactly that here:

    🔗 https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/99001

    I also want to directly address your concern about AI and your creative voice. It’s really important to note that while some of Jetpack’s AI features are powered by OpenAI, your writing is not used to train their models or improve their services. The content you enter is sent to OpenAI only to generate an immediate response and is handled according to OpenAI’s usage policies. We don’t share any other data from your site.

    Your creative voice matters — we don’t want to take away from that, and we’re here to make sure you’re in full control of your tools.

    Thanks again for sticking with us all these years. We truly value having you as part of the Jetpack community.

    (Also: fun fact — opossums are surprisingly resistant to rabies. Fierce and biologically fascinating. 😄)

    Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

    Hi there, @bryndonovan,

    Do you have updates about that, do you still need help? We usually close inactive threads after one week of no movement, but we want to make sure we’re all set before marking it as solved. Thanks!
