>Seager explained in this morning's update while there won't be a "global kill switch" for AI features on Ubuntu, their plan is to deliver all the AI features via Snap packages. So removing AI features on Ubuntu will come down to removing Snaps.
IMHO **opt-in** means the snaps wouldn't even be on the system unless you had already opted in, but I was never going to use Ubuntu anyways so what does it matter.

it is, but it's _initially_ opt-in; meaning the system won't have AI features, but once it does, you'll remove them by removing snaps it's confusing because the paragraphs they talk about opt-in and removing snaps are different, but 26.10 won't ship with AI features in a fresh install.

It's bad naming. The *feature* is opt-in, meaning Snaps are *opt-out*.
