“AI is a revolutionary technology and everyone loves it. That’s why we are always FORCING our users to use it regardless of how much they hate it.”
They probably only dislike it because they haven’t given ours a chance. Remove the toggle.
A few weeks later:
“Sir, our AI keeps getting told to off itself by angry users…”
I’m really surprised “shareholders” with any intelligence don’t start calling out their investments as liars during earnings calls. Tech companies have done this shit for years. Force features into the “on” position by default, force it back on frequently, force not having an off switch to disable the feature. Then they can tell shareholders that user adoption of new shiny widget F is so popular, millions of users are “using” it. Even though the tech company just has NewThing turned on by force and users are completely unaware it is even on, if they even ever use it.
Same crap is done with streaming services partnering with cell carriers and cable providers. Falsify user numbers even if the person just gets it for free and never uses it.
These companies only do this to falsify metrics to make their quarters look good… What if they actually made features users wanted and the user numbers became real?
Or, here’s crazy talk: what if it was illegal to use such tactics to falsify numbers? Gasp.
In my filthy anti-capitalist opinion, NO stock market should exist. It all should be outlawed everywhere.
Nobody wants AI…
Corpos: “Make it mandatory”
The beatings will continue until the demand for AI improves

it has a fucking ✨glitter✨ icon too

Why can’t you turn off emojis?
I think this is because they are part of the Unicode standard so they’re just standard characters. That’s pure speculation though.
I meant the AI stickers.
Because this setting is in the emoji section of the keyboard. That AI stickers option is for stickers you’ve already made (including from your own pictures), or you can prompt for an AI generated one if you have drawing assist turned on. If you tap ai stickers there in that screenshot it brings you to the option to turn that off (but doesn’t get rid of the button in the emoji section of the keyboard).
If you want to get rid of that entire section, you can remove the button to get to the emojis.
It’s a totally different animal (and works best with some customization), but I can guarantee that it’s AI free: https://f-droid.org/packages/juloo.keyboard2
Huh, could this be a better Hackers Keyboard?
I don’t know, but in difference to Hacker’s Keyboard it still receives updates.
What’s for sure better (for my use case) is the broad range of layout customization.
Thanks for this, solid recommendation!
It took me years to find it and now that I did, I want to spread the word.
…I wasn’t looking non-stop for sure, but I can for sure say that I was running Android for years without that gem.
Emojis are essential 💩
Degoogled OSs don’t have these problems. Other problems, but no AI.
Samsung’s emoji/GIF injector is neat, but Futo Keyboard may be a viable alternative. It seems to be progressing little by little. As long as the vendor doesn’t go “evil” in a future release.
Also Samsung’s autocorrect is an abomination. So often it doesn’t correct a wrong word, or over-corrects a real word. There’s no appeasing that drunk algorithm. Sure, you can un-teach wrong words by hitting “…” next to the suggestions and deleting the suggestion, or periodically resetting the learning dictionary, but how is that keyboard such a needy little shit? Love the alt keys and number pad overlay.
I personally disregard drewdevault, bad faith actor
Which OS / app is this for?
Keyboard app on the OneUI 8.0 (Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra).
I struggle with typing on the Futo keyboard so far but it might be an option for you, I want to like and use it. It’s on my phone but just not quite there “for me”
Futo seems very promising once you change the UI settings enough to fit your fingers well.
What is this? (so I can avoid it forever)
Samsung Galaxy AI bullshit
Samsung is pure unadulterated garbage. Not surprised.
Gross…
Hey Canonical, hows that linux phone OS coming along?
Can’t turn on what I don’t have. 🤷♂️
Tell that to my girlfriend… oh wait. 😢 😂
It’s the emojis. Damn yellow faces.
Made a big turn around anything Samsung related ever since they made their OS use MS Sans for who knows what reason. :)
