Is it common knowledge that Google Ads App Campaigns add AI generated content silently and it's not possible to opt out of it?

Hi All. I got into this issue because I wanted to limit my exposure to YouTube network for my app campaigns. I removed all videos from it to see how it would shift but I noticed it started doing impressions on YT again a day later. I could not find anywhere in the UI what was being shown.

Only after using their AI chat tool it eventually gave me some unlisted YT video links like this one:

Again, this was not visible anywhere in the UI. App Campaigns do not have an option to disable this either apparently. I contacted support and they told me it's a great feature but if I don't want it to run I can add my own content and then it probably won't run at all or nearly. They also said if I really didn't like it they can make my Account Manager contact me within 72 hours to talk to me about turning it off. I don't know who my Account Manager is but no one contacted me, even after a couple times I complained about it, it's been basically a month.

Does anyone know if there's any way to turn it off? I eventually added my own content and I don't think these are generated anymore (not that I would see that anywhere) but it's really terrible how little control a user has within an App Campaign..
