How to get rid of AI

Operating systems and ROMs

Most defualt devices come with operating systems like Windows, MacOS, and phone ROMs like iOS, OneUI (Samsung), Xiaomi (MiUI). They all have AI assistants. Alternative is to use custom operating systems or ROMs like:


LineageOS (For the phone) (Without GApps) - Great option has support for lots of new and old devices.

Linux (PC) - Any distribution is fine, avoid Ubuntu or similiar and do your research.
