I am shopping for a new tv. Should I be concerned about AI features, or are they just annoying gizmos I can turn off?

Never connect the tv to the internet, and don’t use the built in software, get an AppleTV and use the TV as a dumb screen

(To be clear, I do not want AI features and would like to avoid them if possible. I'm just not sure if it's a situation like with screens in cars where you basically can't opt out.)

Yeah, it’s all junk. Biggest concern is IF you can turn them off (or turn off ads/ad tracking)
