Just got a New Lap Top... Stressed out

In ancient days I'd buy a laptop, and I was in charge of it. I'd load the programs I used, get rid of what I didn't want, and had no interference. This thing I am typing on now thinks it is in charge. Constantly wants to 'advise' me. I should of bought an old second hand one.

I'm having a lot of trouble remembering things right now but I MIGHT be able to help you with htat. I know my spelling can get erratic and I can't remember how to do most things on an Android phone but I THINK I can still suggest ways to get rid of AI... What brand is your new laptop. (I have better luck with a Windows machine than an iPhoney but either way, I'll try to help you with it.)

@jaylar Okay, uninstalling AI features is a good start. If you run into anything you can't figure out or if any AI still responds after you're done and you need help, let me know.
