取消勾选页面上的复选框，点击 。
Adobe Reader
从顶部菜单（左上角）选择“禁用新版 Acrobat Reader”，在对话框中确认，然后重启。
Android/Gemini
根据手机厂商的不同，你可能可以完全卸载 Gemini 应用。如果不行，也有一些针对特定应用的方法可以关闭它的部分功能。
信息
点击你的账户头像，选择“信息设置”，然后进入“信息中的 Gemini”，将助手开关关闭。
其他应用中的其他功能
点击你的个人资料图标，选择“Gemini 应用活动”，然后选择“关闭”或“关闭并删除活动”。接下来，再次点击个人资料图标，进入“已连接应用”设置（查看“个人智能”设置）。在你不想让 Gemini 介入的所有应用中将其禁用。
电源键
如果 Gemini 已经“接管”了你的电源键，你可以将其关闭。前往“设置”，然后进入“系统”，再进入“手势”，在“长按电源键”下更改设置。
如果这样不行，你可以尝试打开“设置”，然后搜索“电源键”。
Apple Intelligence 与 Siri
仅存在于 iPhone 16 及更新的 Mac 和 iPad 上。打开“设置”（iPhone 或 iPad）或“系统设置”（Mac），选择“Apple Intelligence 与 Siri”。然后关闭“Apple Intelligence”选项。在弹出的对话框中点击“关闭 Apple Intelligence”以确认你的选择。有关如何关闭 Apple Intelligence 的特定部分而保留其他部分的更多详情，请参阅更多信息。
Apple 有一项“从此 App 学习”功能，即使 Apple Intelligence 未开启，该功能也可能处于开启状态。若要将其关闭
Mac 用户：前往“系统设置 – Apple Intelligence 与 Siri”。在页面末尾附近选择“关于 Siri、听写与隐私…”，关闭你不希望 Siri 学习的 App。iOS 用户：“设置 – Apple Intelligence 与 Siri”，向下滚动到“App”，关闭“从此 App 学习”
浏览器内置 AI
Chrome / AI Nano
在地址栏输入 chrome://flags 并按回车。你会看到一列系统标志和一个搜索栏；搜索 GLIC [Google live in Chrome]。这会将庞大的列表筛选到大约十几个 AI 功能。在此窗口中你需要的第二个搜索词是“Gemini”，将它们全部设为“已禁用”。不要误启用那几个默认处于禁用状态的设置项。
Edge
与 Chrome 类似：在 Edge 地址栏输入 edge://flags，按回车，然后在搜索框中输入“AI”或“Copilot”。
点击左侧“设置”侧边栏中的“外观”，向下滚动到“Copilot 和侧边栏”
关闭侧边栏，并关闭“在自定义侧边栏中个性化我的热门站点”和“允许侧边栏应用显示通知”这两个开关。
点击“应用特定设置”下的 Copilot。关闭“在工具栏上显示 Copilot 按钮”。然后，回到“Copilot 和侧边栏”设置中，关闭刚刚出现的“显示侧边栏按钮”开关。
点击左侧导航中的“语言”。禁用“在网页上使用 Copilot 进行写作”。
Firefox
最新版 Firefox（148 及更高版本）具有阻止所有 AI 增强功能的功能。所以如果可以的话，请更新，然后前往“设置”并查找“AI 控制”。开启“阻止 AI 增强功能”（或从列表中进行更精细的选择）
使用 Firefox 时，如果你将 Google 设为默认搜索引擎，此扩展程序可以移除大量 AI 垃圾内容。

DuckDuckGo
DDG 既是浏览器也是搜索引擎。他们有一个无 AI 版本，你可以通过访问 https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ 来使用。你也可以将默认搜索引擎改为这个，从而不再使用 Google，这里有适用于每个浏览器的操作步骤。如果你想彻底改用 DDG 浏览器，他们也有相关操作说明。
Google Workspace（Gmail、Google Docs 等）
在 Gmail 中，点击设置（齿轮）图标，然后选择“查看所有设置”。在“常规”选项卡中，向下滚动到“Google Workspace 智能功能”。点击“管理 Workspace 智能功能设置”，并关闭两个选项：“Google Workspace 中的智能功能”和“其他 Google 产品中的智能功能”。在同一选项卡上，取消勾选“开启 Gmail、Chat 和 Meet 中的智能功能”旁边的复选框。
在 Android 版 Gmail 中，Workspace 智能功能位于 Gmail 的汉堡/下拉菜单 – 设置 – 账户名称下。
Slack
Slack 工作区的所有者和管理员有一些禁用 AI 功能的选项。这是他们关于管理这些功能的帮助页面。
AI 在几个地方存在。建议回复：前往 设置 – 聊天 – 建议与智能回复，然后关闭“建议回复”。AI 贴纸建议可以在同一菜单中关闭。AI 消息摘要则在另一个位置管理：设置 – 通知 – AI 消息摘要。根据你运行的操作系统，它也可能位于 设置 – 聊天 – 私密处理 – 私密处理功能 下。
Windows 11/Copilot
Copilot 既作为嵌入 Office 365 的 AI 智能体存在，也内置在 Windows 11 操作系统中。右键单击“开始”菜单中的 Copilot 条目，然后选择“卸载”。如果没有该选项，请前往已安装应用列表（开始 – 设置 – 应用），从那里卸载 Copilot。
在某些 Windows 11 版本中，Copilot 已固化在操作系统中，因此简单的卸载可能不起作用。在这种情况下，你可以通过设置将其关闭：开始 – 设置 – 个性化 – 任务栏 – 关闭 Copilot。文件资源管理器内置了一些 AI 功能，可能会被意外开启。要移除它：开始 – 设置 – 隐私和安全 – 点击执行。
记事本有自己专属的 Copilot，所以你需要在那里单独禁用 AI。打开记事本设置，找到 AI 功能部分（或“写作工具”部分附近的一个闪亮图标），然后关闭 Copilot。
Office 365/Outlook 每个应用里都有一个单独的“启用 Copilot”复选框，而且该复选框仅适用于该设备上的那个应用。阅读更多关于如何关闭它的信息。如果你没有那个选项，你可以更改隐私设置来禁用 Copilot。
“文本和图像生成”默认是开启的，会影响记事本、照片、截图工具和 Xbox。请关闭它。要从 Windows 电脑上彻底移除 Copilot 是件复杂的事，但并非不可能。这里有一个链接详细介绍了具体方法。如果你不介意安装软件，O&O ShutUp 10 是一种方式，Win11DeBloat 是另一种。
Yahoo Mail
点击左侧边栏底部的“…”更多，选择“设置”，选择“AI 功能”，然后关闭“消息摘要”。
Zoom
登录 Zoom.com。滚动到左侧的“我的账户”，选择“设置”。进入右侧的“Zoom AI”标签页，在那里你可以禁用所有功能。注意：新的 AI 选项会不断添加，而且它们默认是“开启”状态，所以要经常回来检查。在“Zoom AI”标签页的右侧，点击“我的笔记”，然后禁用“允许参与者使用我的笔记转录会议”。

How to disable or avoid intrusive AI
One of the biggest questions I get at Drop-In Time at the library (besides “what is taking up all my cloud storage?”) is how to disable or avoid intrusive AI that shows up where people don’t want it. This is a guide for people who would like less intrusive AI in their tech environment. Maybe you like AI and find it useful? That’s fine, this document is probably not for you. Additions/edits welcome. Leave a comment or drop me an email. This page is available at the short URL https://NoToAI.org
Adobe Acrobat
- Windows: Menu > Preferences > Generative AI
- macOS: View > Preferences > Generative AI
Uncheck the checkbox on the page, click .
Adobe Reader
Choose Disable new Acrobat Reader from the top menu (upper left), approve the dialog box and restart.
Android/Gemini
Depending on your phone’s manufacturer, you may be able to uninstall the Gemini app entirely. If not, there are some application-specific ways you can turn off some of its features
Messages
Tap your account picture, select Messages settings, then Gemini in Messages, and toggle the assistant off.
Other features in other apps
Tap your profile icon, select Gemini Apps activity, and then choose Turn off or Turn off and delete activity. Next, tap the profile icon again and go to the Connected Apps setting (check the Personal Intelligence setting). Disable all the apps where you don’t want Gemini.
Power Button
If Gemini has “taken over” your power button, you can turn this off. Go to Settings, then System, then Gestures and change the settings under Press & Hold Power Button
If that doesn’t work you can try opening Settings, then searching for Power key
Apple Intelligence & Siri
Only exists on iPhone 16 and newer Macs and iPads Open Settings (iPhone or iPad) or System Settings (Mac) and choose Apple Intelligence & Siri. Then turn off the Apple Intelligence option. Confirm your choice in the dialog that appears by tapping Turn Off Apple Intelligence. More details on how to turn off specific parts of Apple Intelligence and leave others alone.
Apple has a “learn from this application” feature which can be on even when Apple Intelligence is not on. To turn it off
For Mac: go to System Settings – Apple Intelligence & Siri. Select About Siri, Dictation & Privacy… near the end of the page, turn off apps you don’t want Siri to learn from
For iOS: Settings – Apple Intelligence & Siri, scroll down to Apps, disable “Learn from this App”
Browser-embedded AI
Chrome/AI Nano
Type chrome://flags into the address bar and hit Enter. You’ll see a list of system flags and a search bar; look for GLIC [Google live in Chrome]. This will filter the massive list down to about a dozen AI features. The second search term you’ll need in this window is “Gemini” set them all to “disabled.” Don’t accidentally enable the couple of settings which default to disabled.
Edge
Similar to Chrome: type edge://flags into the Edge address bar, hit Enter, then type “AI” or “Copilot” into the search box.
Click Appearance in the left-hand Settings sidebar, and scroll down to Copilot and sidebar
Turn the sidebar off, and turn off the “Personalize my top sites in customize sidebar” and “Allow sidebar apps to show notifications” toggles.
Click Copilot under App specific settings. Turn off “Show Copilot button on the toolbar.” Then, back in the Copilot and sidebar settings, turn off the “Show sidebar button” toggle that has just appeared.
Click Languages in the left-hand navigation. Disable “Use Copilot for writing on the web.”
Firefox
The latest Firefox (148 and later) has a feature to block all AI enhancements. So update, if you can, go to Settings and look for AI Controls. Turn Block AI Enhancements on (or select more granularly from the list)
Using Firefox, this extension removes a lot of the AI junk if you use Google as your default search engine.
DuckDuckGo
DDG is both a browser and a search engine. They have a no-AI version you can get to by going to https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ You can also change your default search engine to this and stop using Google, here are steps for every browser. If you want to go all out and get the DDG browser, they also have instructions on how to do that.
Google Workspace (Gmail, Google Docs &c)
In Gmail, click the Settings (gear) icon, and then select See all settings. On the General tab, scroll down to Google Workspace smart features. Click Manage Workspace smart feature settings and toggle off two options: Smart features in Google Workspace and Smart features in other Google products. Uncheck the box next to Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet on the same tab.
In Gmail for Android the workspace smart features are under the Gmail hamburger/dropdown menu – Settings – Account name
Slack
Owners and admins of Slack workspaces have some options in disabling AI features. Here is their help page about managing those features.
AI lives in here in a few places. Suggested Replies, go to Settings – Chats – Suggestions & smart replies and toggle off Suggested replies. AI Sticker suggestions can be shut off in that same menu. For AI message summaries, those are managed in a different location: Settings – Notifications – AI message summaries. Depending on what operating system you’re running, it may also be in Settings – Chat – Private Processing – Private Processing Features
Windows 11/Copilot
Copilot exists both as an embedded AI agent in Office 365 and also built into the Windows 11 operating system. Right-click the Copilot entry in the Start menu and select Uninstall. If that option isn’t there, head over to your installed apps list (Start – Settings – Apps) and uninstall Copilot from there.
In certain builds of Windows 11, Copilot is stuck into the OS, so a simple uninstall might not work. In that case, you can toggle it off via the settings: Start – Settings – Personalization – Taskbar – turn off Copilot File Explorer has some AI built into it which can be turn-onable accidentally. To remove. Start – Settings – Privacy & Security – Click to Do.
Notepad has its own special Copilot, so you’ll need to disable AI there separately. Open the Notepad settings, find the AI features section (or a sparkly icon near a Writing Tools section), and toggle Copilot off.
Office 365/Outlook There is a separate Enable Copilot checkbox in each app and the checkbox only applies to that app on that device. Read more about how to turn it off. If you don’t have that option, you can change your privacy settings to disable Copilot.
“Text and image generation” are turned on by default, affecting Notepad, Photos, Snipping Tool, and Xbox. Turn this off. It is complicated, though not impossible, to remove Copilot from your Windows computer entirely. Here is a link that gets into the details. If you feel comfortable installing software O&O ShutUp 10 is one way to do that, Win11DeBloat is another.
Yahoo Mail
Cick the … More on the bottom of the left-hand sidebar, select Settings, select AI Features and switch Message summaries off.
Zoom
Sign in at Zoom.com. Scroll to My Account on the left and select Settings. Go to the Zoom AI tab on the right where you can disable everything. Note: new AI options get added and they default to “on” so check back. To the right of the Zoom AI tab click on My Notes and disable “Allow participants to transcribe meetings with My Notes”
