People are using AI to 'dumb down' their smart TVs
Original: People are using AI to 'dumb down' their smart TVs. Is that a good idea?
Frustrated by intrusive ads, tracking and cluttered interfaces, some smart TV owners are asking AI assistants for help stripping their devices back to basics, including blocking telemetry or simplifying settings. The trend has sparked debate online about whether the workaround is practical, whether it violates warranties or terms of service, and whether TV makers should build less intrusive software in the first place.
Why now: Growing frustration with ads and data collection in smart TV software has made these AI-assisted hacks a talking point.
