Dumping gen AI into everything.

Hello @allancav,

Thanks taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate it, and you should be able to use Jetpack without AI in the mix if that’s your preference.

To disable sitewide, you use a filter to turn off all Jetpack AI features. You can add the following line of code with a code snippet: https://jetpack.com/support/adding-code-snippets/

add_filter( 'jetpack_ai_enabled', '__return_false' );

One you’ve added the filter, reload the block editor. That should remove the AI Assistant Block.

About your site being connected to AI: even on sites when the AI features are active, Jetpack only sends something to the AI when you use an active feature. However, it doesn’t send your post anywhere in the background, and no visitor data is involved in this scenario. Here’s a breakdown with several opt-out methods: https://jetpack.com/support/create-better-content-with-jetpack-ai/

There isn’t a separate build of the plugin with AI stripped out, but the filter above gets you to the same place. If you’d like to add your own voice and follow along, there’s an open request to build a simple toggle for this right here, and you’re welcome to comment or subscribe to it: https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/37059

Please let me know if I can help with anything else!
