AGREED. I hate how tech companies are shoving this garbage down our throats and taking up UI space with it. I’d like an option to fully disable it, including the UI bloat. And honestly with how much the creative community loves using Goodnotes, it’s a slap in the face to a huge user base to be using such a predatory invention that harms creatives.

I agree with what has been said here. People have a right to opt out not just of using it, but of having AI features constantly pushed on them and crowding the interface. My toolbar and other features in the app are now cluttered and more difficult to use, because of AI features I have no interest in. A universal "Disable AI features" button would allow people to decide wne and if they want to use AI.

Could not agree with this more. The AI features are more of a nuisance than anything else.
It is clear that Goodnotes only jumped on the AI wagon because they thought it was a good marketing opportunity, not because they felt that it would benefit their users.

The AI implementation thus far has been useless - and that's not entirely their fault, more so an issue that AI just has very limited use cases in a proper study routine.

So in short, it is unused by most users but it does slow their devices down + use more power, thus draining the battery even faster.

I am frustrated with many companies recently integrating generative AI into their products and the using it as a main source of their marketing. It feels like a slap in the face of the creativity and intelligence of the community they’ve been building so far. I have adored goodnotes for years and feel very frustrated right now.
