LrC now adding AI Content Credentials automatically on export

Lightroom Classic now adds AI content credentials to image exports automatically (just started last week, without warning).  For tools such as Remove, for dust spots, etc.  This appears not possible to be turned off ?

The export options show that Content Credentials are off, but it is still applied

My use of such tools is for image refinement, not creation of distortions (which is where the content credentials are more appropriate)

For minor refinements I do not want my images to be tagged in this way, misconstruing and giving he wrong message about the final image 

Please let me know how I can stop the CC being tagged, as it appears in Bridge (and beyond)

I don’t see that and the export dialog still has the option to turn off content credentials.

Maybe you need to reset the preferences: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

    I have turned it off at the export stage (in fact it has never been turned on) - but makes no difference.  Still marks an image, as shown in Bridge.  Images where remove for example has not been used does not show this tag

    Only happened since the last update of LrC - could it be a bug ?

    Also reset preferences - made no difference

    Now lost my original preferences, despite putting back the original preferences (plist) file.  So will have to rebuild a myriad of my preferences again ….
