In the same way, don't use Calibre, and don't support it (i.e., give money to support development of Calibre).

I am one of those people who rip out AI hooks from anything that has them. In most cases, all that is required is simply clicking a "disable" button. Sometimes I have to do more. But, with Calibre, all I have to do is nothing, since AI hooks aren't enabled at all. And, now I can hide the menu options, so that's perfect.

In other words, I don't care if someone else wants to use AI. If they do, that's their choice. But, I don't want to use it, and will disable it on all devices I use. As long as AI can be disabled for me, I'm fine with using a device (or software) that contains it.
Thing is, there's no replacement for these top TVs and no replacement for calibre. So if you want these things, you have to just ignore the AI when possible.

Can you find a program to replace calibre? Can you find a TV to replace these top OLED TVs?
