Procedures for disabling the AI model in Chrome

Close the Chrome application completely before altering any files or settings.

Access the internal configuration settings by entering chrome://flags/ into the address bar and pressing Enter.

Locate the setting Enables Optimization Guide On Device and set the configuration to Disabled.

Locate the Prompt API setting and disable this option as well.

Once these flags are disabled, delete the weights.bin file, which is approximately 4 GB, from the C:Users<username>AppData>Local>Google>Chrome>User Data>OptGuideOnDeviceModel>{directory name will vary} directory.

Users should exercise caution during this process. Incorrectly modifying browser directories may adversely affect application stability. Users should ensure they understand the function of any file before deletion. Instead of deleting the file immediately, users may rename it to verify system behavior after relaunching the browser.

There's more information in other branches of the notes, including arguments over whether this does or does not count as spyware and disagreements about whether this does or does not include Chromium based non-Chrome browsers, but I'm including this branch as it has the most succinct version of instructions to check and if desired disable this thing.

the annoying thing about weightlifting is that you have to lift weights that are a little too heavy for you if you want to get stronger. and you have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to keep building muscle. fucked up.
