How to remove AI features from Jetpack

The Jetpack WordPress plugin now comes bundled with Jetpack AI Assistant – a suite of AI powered add-ons for your site. These, however, are not free, beyond an initial trial. However, once those trial features have expired, I found that the upgrade messaging in the editor was getting in the way.

So, how do we turn this off?

On my site, this is the kind of things I was seeing (see the black box-out)…

To turn it off in the editor, you need to do the following…

1. Click the Options icon (3 vertical dots) in the top-right of the editor
2. Select Preferences
3. Now choose the Blocks tab
4. Toggle off AI Assistant (I found it in the “Text” section)
5. Now refresh the page

The other option, which turns off all the AI Assistance features, is to add the following code to your site…

add_filter( 'jetpack_ai_enabled', '__return_false' );
