How to turn off generative AI expand for images in the crop function, Illustrator 30.4

Since updating to 30.4, any time I attempt to crop an image (very often due to shrinking embedded photos for the correct DPI) if I unintentionally make the crop selection too large, it no longer snaps to the corners like it used to, but defaults to generative AI. I never want to generate. Will there be a way to turn this function off in preferences? It is affecting my workflow to the point of having to downgrade back to 30.3.

    @Bryan35730830ey40 I see your problem, but cannot find a way to get the previous behaviour and see no way to turn generative expand off.
