Comment (by ahortin):

 Agree with what others have mentioned, there needs to be a single **Kill
 Switch** to completely disable **ALL** AI functionality. This include
 screens like the newly added **Settings > Connectors** screen added in the
 recent WP 7.0beta, along with all UI components anywhere else in core (if
 there are any). A hook or filter that simply restricts a prompt execution,
 which was mentioned over on the [wp-ai-client
 repo](https://github.com/WordPress/wp-ai-client/issues/38), is far from an
 adequate solution.

 If the WP AI Client is being made part of core, then this kill switch also
 needs to built into the core settings pages as well, rather than forcing
 people to implement a solution through hooks or filters in a plugin or
 theme. While a constant in `wp-config` would also work, ideally, it really
 should be part of the main Dashboard UI. There are a significant portion
 of WordPress users who aren't comfortable editing PHP files, even when
 it's just to add a simple switch. This solution also needs to roll out
 with WP 7.0 if the AI Client is rolling out in 7.0. It's not good enough
 to say that it'll be implement this at a later date.
