How do I get rid of/hide AI tools in Photoshop

Is there a way to disable all AI tools in my photoshop? AI is damaging the art industry, destroying jobs, bad for the environment, lacks heart, and I want it gone. I hate these pop-ups telling me to try AI. My art and books (I'm an author too) have both been scraped by AI systems, and I'm about to lose my mind seeing this slop everywhere.

And don't call AI art; a judge already decided it lacks human authorship. Can't believe Adobe betrayed artists like this.

Can't say I disagree.

 

It's easy to avoid in Photoshop, though. The pure generative tools; just don't use them. Then there is a range of tools that can use generative AI optionally. For these tools, there is always a rolldown in the options bar. Set it to "generative AI: off", and it stays that way and won't bother you again.

 

Additionally, to avoid all popups, there is now an option in Preferences called "quiet mode". That kills absolutely all popups.

 

To be perfectly honest, I do believe AI will eat our culture from the inside and ultimately cause it to implode and collapse into a singularity of mediocrity and sameness. The problem is that there are some undeniably good and worthy purposes for AI, mostly in science/medicine/forensics. So you can't make a wholesale general argument against AI. What I think is needed is to develop AI in context, not as a fix-all universal panacea.
