Jetpack does not respect WordPress AI kill switch (WP_AI_SUPPORT)
-
Hello,
Jetpack’s AI chat bubble continues to appear in the post editor even when the WordPress core AI kill switch is explicitly set to disabled.
WordPress provides two official mechanisms to disable AI features globally:
- The WP_AI_SUPPORT constant in wp-config.php: define( ‘WP_AI_SUPPORT’, false );
- The wp_supports_ai filter hook (in functions.php or a custom plugin): add_filter( ‘wp_supports_ai’, ‘__return_false’ );
Both of these are in place on my installation, yet Jetpack’s AI assistant chat bubble still renders in the Gutenberg post editor.
Expected behavior:
Jetpack should check the WP_AI_SUPPORT constant and the wp_supports_ai filter before loading any AI-related UI. If either returns false, all AI features — including the chat bubble — should be suppressed entirely.Actual behavior:
The AI chat bubble is displayed regardless of the above settings, meaning Jetpack is not respecting the WordPress core AI kill switch.This is important for site owners and agencies who need to enforce a no-AI policy across all plugins from a single, central configuration.
Please can the Jetpack team confirm whether this is a known issue and whether there is a timeline for the plugin to honour the WP_AI_SUPPORT constant and wp_supports_ai filter?
Thank you.
