I like Zed a lot but decided not to keep it because it has a direct connection with an AI assistant via a separate AI chat window/console. I prefer my software not to have any AI in it -- at least make it something that can be removed from the interface like in VS Code (Copilot there is optional).

You can remove all the AI stuff from the settings

  "collaboration_panel": {
    "button": false
  },
  "assistant": {
    "version": "1",
    "button": false
  },
  "chat_panel": {
    "button": false
  },
  "notification_panel": {
    "button": false
  },

How do I know hiding the button/panel actually turns it off?

Sorry mate, I want my editor dumb until I tell it otherwise. One of the main criticisms against vscode was the by-default analytics.

Cool. The only thing I was aware of is this one:

    "features": {
        "copilot": false
    }

Oh, thanks, I'll look into that. I didn't know that was possible (I searched around a little but couldn't find it.) Does this disable connecting to an AI server though or just hide the buttons?
