I just logged in to Medscape to read an article and there is now a default AI mode with crap all over the place, including an annoying floating sparkle button (to start a chat) which I can't get rid of.

I just logged in to Medscape to read an article and there is now a default AI mode with crap all over the place, including an annoying floating sparkle button (to start a chat) which I can't get rid of.

I've searched but have not found a way to turn off AI mode. Anyone know how? (maybe not possible)

@ahimsa_pdx No sparkly AI bilge in Firefox. Tested, ironically, w/ https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/ai-scribes-show-quality-gaps-note-taking-compared-human-2026a1000ehn

I'm not sure what platform you're using but this happened to me using Firefox on an iPad (with iPadOS 17 - this is an old iPad). I updated to latest Firefox version, just to be sure that was not a factor, and it still happens. Screenshot attached.

I just checked using Firefox on my laptop (Mac OS) and the annoying floating button is not there. So this may be something that's only shown on mobile devices.

#ublockorigin has a #blocklist for removing #AIassistants.
if it doesn't remove this sparkling shit button, you can still hide it with the #ElementZapper.
