You can absolutely disable it. I did when I first saw it. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/disable-ai-assistant.htm...

.noai

is this gonna be some fancy organic label for repos?

Create an empty file named .noai in the root directory of the project.

When this file is present, all AI Assistant features are fully disabled for the project. Even if this project is opened in another IDE, the AI Assistant features will not be available.

Some repos are more dotfile than source file these days.

You only need that if you want to ensure no other developer uses the AI features of JetBrains, the plugin doesn't do anything until you pay them / activate a trial.

Do you know if this disables things like Copilot? I just want to disable the JetBrains AI... not the one I'm already paying for.

If you’re not paying for it, it’s not on. You can also disable the entire plugin from plugin settings if you want.
