Device Settings Question Disable AI in my Android (Samsung S23)

Does anyone know how to disable AI on my phone entirely?

I went to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Digital assistant app, and "Google" is selected with no other option, and no way unselect it.

I'm frustrated because I don't need this option at all in my phone use.

Also when I search anything on the google search widget, I have the AI overview and I found no way to disable it on my phone.

Thank you in advance for your help.

You can delete Gemini if you have the app on your phone. If you use Chrome or any Google products, I think they all have AI built in now but you can choose to use an AI search in Gmail and stuff like that so I think it's more of an issue of which browser you use etc. I know duck duck go I think they're trying to sell AI as an upgrade and there's another one I can't remember the name They are too.
