I know I can go into settings and disable Answer with AI from there however, it should be an “Opt In” to use AI rather than an “Opt Out”. Additionally, there is still a button in the search box itself on search.brave.com that references this functionality. I intentionally have been using Brave beca…

Meanwhile the AI being so practical is the reason I switched from DuckDuckGo to Brave Search and making the latter better was a factor in my decision to switch to Brave with web discovery project and Google fallback mixing, so I disagree. However I would hope the search URLs become more configurabl…

@Michael.Donlon , Yes, this can be disabled for search.brave.com on the Settings page as well as in the browser in Settings --> Leo. You should only have to change this setting once. @Mikaela you can select search result regions by clicking the “tune” icon: [image]

I have turned off every instance of Leo I could find, yet every time I search, there’s automatically an answer generated. I would very much like to disable this, as I’m aware of the increased energy use of AI, as compared to regular search results. Why do this all the time, instead of giving us an o…

thank you SO much. not only do i actively despise the AI, it interferes with the accuracy of my work. I agree with those above who said the AI should be something you toggle ON, not toggle off. the percentage of people who actively desire to use it are smaller than those who would rather not.

Yeah, I can’t find the discussion where someone was mocked for pointing out that some false AI answers can be dangerous. How about this example below. [BraveAI_1]

@geekantiai the reply you linked to is screenshot below: [image] Part of the first quote was them saying they want AI to be disabled. So I asked them if they had turned it off in settings. This is a very clear cut question. Obviously it will continue answering if a person has it enabled. The sec…

I came here because bravesearch ai auto response now freezes the browser until it finishes which can take up to 10 seconds. This is abysmal, as if the authoritative but absolutely wrong responses now it gets in the way of even using the search engine as a search engine. Get off the AI bandwagon it w…

Just wanted to note a couple of things here. First, there does appear to be an issue where the Answer with AI toggle re-enables itself after being disabled. This is a bug and not intentional. I have opened an issue for this on our Github here: "Answer with AI" opti…

Another small update here — just wanted to note that in addition to opening the above issue, I’ll continue to push for this icon to be hidden when that option is toggled off. That said, in the meantime, for those of you who want to remove it entirely from view, you can use the built in Block elemen…

Removal of "Answer with AI" from Search Box

Brave Search

The “Answer with AI” does not disappear after I toggle all the Leo options off. This is what I’d like to get rid of. I’m finding it so annoying, after I go through the effort of removing it in settings, I would like it to be truly gone.

"Answer with AI" sometimes re-enables after closing the site
