If you're a bored web developer looking for a project that should take a day or less, here's an idea: AI-Turnoff. Simple static web page. List out today's software products that companies are desperately cramming AI into, and provide quick directions on how to turn the AI off.



You don’t need to be a web developer to do that. A GitHub (or other service) with a simple README.md would suffice. In fact it would be better, because it would allow other people to easily contribute updates.


"Awesome AI Turnoff"


Also, list alternatives that don't push AI on you.


This would take a day or less, but would quickly become a nightmare to maintain as AI develops and options/settings change etc.


Sadly, there is an endless arms race in opt in/out dark patterns, between vendors, EU regulators, and tutorial writers.

Some features can be disabled via MDM config profile, which is an XML file that can be installed with a few clicks.
