Artificial intelligence is a term that continues to gain traction; it surrounds us, making it rare to find a product that doesn’t refer to it. This trend isn’t limited to technological devices either; I recently purchased a washing machine, and LG thought it necessary to integrate AI into that too.

Even though AI is widespread, it often lacks substantial functionality. Nevertheless, smartphone manufacturers are embracing AI, marketing it as a questionable unique selling point in their newest handsets. If you share my indifference toward generative AI, here’s how to turn it off on your device.

In this guide, I will focus on Google and Samsung phones, as they are the two brands that offer comprehensive AI functionalities. Chinese manufacturers are just beginning to integrate AI into their devices, so I will refrain from discussing Funtouch OS or ColorOS for now, instead focusing on Pixel and Galaxy models.
