If they want to position themselves with a point of difference from competitors, they could provide a settings list of AI features with check boxes for each.

This would tap into the insight that not everyone dislikes the same AI features. For many AI isn't a dirty word, but rather they've seen plenty of examples where it's simply annoying or over-taxing resources.

This could potentially entice users not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and maybe even make a few converts.
