The developer at Telegram Desktop who added the AI button says it's possible they could add an experimental toggle that would let you turn off the AI text editor: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/30504#issuecomment-4183507219 Add a 👍/❤️/🚀 emoji reaction there, to show this would be welcome!

My feature request on Telegram Desktop to have a setting to turn off the AI text editor has been closed as "not planned" because Telegram doesn't have an API for that.

However, Telegram Desktop can surely make their own setting for this, that works on that device only?

https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/30504 Add your 👍 to the issue, add a comment if you feel inclined. If you want to support but don't have Github, boost this to get it in front of people who do.
