Updated to Wordpress 7. On upgrading, was greeted with: "WordPress 7.0 introduces the foundation for AI across the platform, letting you connect your preferred provider and put it to work across your site."
I _really_ need to find time to figure out how to move to a static site generator.

@shawnhooper @djwudi Unfortunately, I do have one website that is Wordpress.
Basically, you can edit your wp-config.php with
define( 'WP_AI_SUPPORT', false );
There is also a plugin for those not comfortable editing that file:

That being said,....Im not happy with the onus-shifting opt-out logic. Wordpress has definitely enshittified (overall) and that includes this AI shit now becoming part of core. (We dont want it!)
