TIRED of AI taking over photoshop

[randy22222873use8]

I teach photography at a private university and am getting really tired of this AI billboard opening OVER files that have just been opened. It's distracting to the students and interupts the teaching process. Being offered the choice of  "try later" or "get started" is a clear manipuation of not being offered a choiceat all. This is not the first time this issue has been talked about. PLEASE stop assuming everyone is enamored with AI and allow the students to be taught by the teachers

Good to know that the issue can be resolved again.

@Ged_Traynor try this and report back how it goes...that is, if you still have the latest version installed.

@D Fosse I have never used the home screen since it was introduced, I currently have version 25.3.1 installed, so decided to enable the home screen in that version, then installed version 25.6, disabled the home screen and then opened an image, closed Photoshop, and I'm still greeted with this crap.

So I uninstalled 25.6 again, deleted the preference folder from the appdata, reinstalled Photoshop 25.6 and the same crap appears

I give up, so I'm sticking with version 25.3.1

Thanks to @Mark.Dahm @Pete.Green @CoryShubert for not replying to this thread

I have never used the Home screen and disable the new contextual task bar. Probably why I've never seen the titorial on multiple computers. Oh and the dark appearance makes my skin crawl. No idea how anyone tolerates that. The VERY FIRST thing I do is change to the lightest appearance.

Well said. I'm sick of the AI prompts in Adobe as well. I used to know my way around this program. Now it seems like nothing works, even the highlighter or Search function. Please back off!

I don’t understand what you mean. 

Generative Fill, Generate Image, Generative Expand … all seem to be optional, so there is no need to use them if one prefers not to. 

Which »Highlighter« are you referring to? 

What problem are you experiencing with the »Search function«? 

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible to illustrate?
