Is there a way to ACTUALLY disable ai from brave search?

Problem 1: I disabled “Answer with AI”, but Brave search still has a button for answer with ai. Its annoying and distracting.

Problem 2: I disabled Code LLM. Code LLM still appears in my search results.

Also, I’m using firefox, so settings in the Brave browser are off-limits for me.

I switched from ddg to brave because of the ties to microsoft, but if theres no way to get rid of the AI annoyances, I’m switching back.

So the button is there but it does nothing if disabled. But I get that it doesn’t make much sense for the button to still show if it has been disabled. That said, this does seem to be just a cosmetic problem.

As for feedback, this is one place, but you’d probably be best to provide feedback and suggestions for Search using the Share Feedback button on Brave Search itself. That goes directly to the Search team

Are you sure? I just tested and if I have it off, then it doesn’t show. To test I used the search kill all processes related to port 80

With CodeLLM off:

With CodeLLM on:

Which then hitting Generate Answer looks like:

I’m assuming you just are seeing how they present information shared from places like Stack Exchange and are making the assumption it’s CodeLLM when it isn’t. In either case, definitely wanting to confirm what you’re seeing and whether it says the source is from CodeLLM.

AI SHOULD BE OPT IN NOT OPT OUT.

I do not want AI. It is not useful. It makes the internet worse. How do I turn it off.

PERMANENTLY not just on a single tab of search results. I NEVER want AI in my search results period.

This is coming from someone who has actively developed LLM based products.

Get rid of it or give me a way to permanently disable it.

How can I turn it off. Forever. And ever.

Right click on the window > Brave > Block element > search.brave.com##.suggestion.desktop-large-regular.t-secondary.llm.svelte-lz5rr5

Funny but it works.

AI SHOULD BE OPT IN NOT OPT OUT.

I am experiencing the same issue.
- I turn off AI and LLM
-Then open a second tab
- The AI and LLM reappear
Forcing me to opt out on every tab is crazy making

Brave you can do better

I’ve taken to adding the following cosmetic filters:

search.brave.com##.suggestion.llm
search.brave.com###submit-llm-button

If I have turned off the relevant AI/LLM settings Brave Search should not show the buttons.

I want the AI automatic responses to be disabled completely stop it from giving inappropriate responses when searching for information on controversial/serious subjects, and my concern with this is that this may incite violence.

Then have you turned it off yet?

How so? Any examples of where it might be doing this? And it providing details opposite of your beliefs is not a qualifier. AI is just using information gathered through the search engine to answer questions. I have not seen anything yet which should incite violence.

By “incite violence”, my concern is that is could say inappropriate BS in regards to serious subjects, thus causing nasty out of control fights when a complete retard sees what’s on another person’s screen.

Until now this criminal monster AI was shown as “deactivated” and only jumped to red- activated - while searching and then jumped back to not activated – now suddenly it ALWAYS shows up activated although in the settings everything is deactivated !

EU law tells that every content provider needs my personal consent to use technology reading or learning from my behavtior and I dont give this consent - we just go after Google and it will cost them Billions in Europe – now I will inform the organization to put Brave on the list – stealing from European Users without their possibility to deny consent … and it does not count if its “anonymous” or not - I am not willing to support any AI in any way – I want an online life without those monsters ! Several Million European Users will join this lawsuit and the costs alone can ruin a company – and this is good – time to show them that they cannot fool users any longer !

even when you deactivate it – when you open a private site or a TOR site its still activated … when you check “setting” it shows “deactivated” because it shows you the common settings and not private or TOR settings – there its only possible to do a first search … for example strong words and AI and then on the site of the results you cant that small flower-icon where you can change the site settings … here you have to deactivate everything again … and you must do it again next time you open a private or TOR site
This is really the lowest of all characters – stealing user behavior on sites where users think that they are safe – no difference if its “anonymous” or not – it is training the monster AI with my search behavior most of all showing them what users are looking for when they feel safe – and this is criminal – we already prepare a lawsuit under European law not only against Google but all other content providers - European law requires my personal consent to use such a criminal technology and if I dont give this technology is not allowed to work in any way or it will cost the company a fortune – even Microsoft went on their knees agaist that law … we will go after them !
