Adobe should make opt-out to all of gen ai feature for users.

The Contextual Task Bar has a "Pin bar position" option which sounds like what you want.

I'm confused Kenzo. The Contextual Task Bar is already in the Window menu, and you were already told that you can pin it on your workspace so you don't have to keep moving it. Can you clarify your issue?

But I'm well aware of how it works, thank you! I'm just not trying to hide it because I'm using these functions. My wish is that it can find a place in one of the menus, for example it could be very well on a single line at the very bottom of the window, even if it changes depending on the tool you're using. That's where I'd put it if I was given the option of hanging it, but that's not the case. Maybe there's a way of attaching it to a menu, but I don't think so. The fact that it's wandering around and I have to move it all the time and that it's in the middle of the action, I find problematic.

It's called the Contextual Task Bar, as it changes depending on what you are doing. You can close it, pin it to a specific location, or reopen it (Window menu). Details here:

I see that someone merged your post with a longer thread.

Just hide the contextual toolbar.

I don't know which of their engineers thought that leaving a generative fill window permanently in the middle of the image would be a good idea. But really, it's completely incoherent.

I have added my vote, this appears to be part of the Firefly Terms of Use for the Beta version:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-beta-discussions/generative-ai-in-the-remove-tool-for-photoshop-beta/m-p/14834105#:~:text=The%20Remove%20Tool%20already%20has,large%20area%20or%20complex%20background.

1. Accept the Firefly Terms of Use: If you haven't already, agree to the Firefly Terms of Use that appears.
    
   
   •   The Mode setting in the Remove Tool is set based on the Terms of Use acceptance.
      Manually change the Mode setting in the options bar as needed:
         • Auto (May use generative AI) - default if TOU was accepted
         • Always use generative AI
         • Never use generative AI - default if TOU was declined

I like the idea of having a personal choice.

Photoshop is a creative tool. Acrobat Reader goes on most corporate desktops. I'm not surprised that as a business decision, Adobe included that killswitch. 

Adobe Acrobat has a preference setting to turn off generative AI. I'd love to see the same ability in Photoshop.

Turn off generative AI features in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader desktop

• Close any open files. Then, navigate to Preferences > Generative AI.
• To turn off the generative AI features, deselect Enable generative AI features in Acrobat, and then select OK.

I've upvoted the idea.
