Turn off Facebook Group AI
It's June 2025 as I write this article, and recently I've been irritated by Facebook's introduction of a stupid AI assistant to my Ask Damien group. Calling itself "Damien Fix" it randomly posts completely inaccurate answers on people's threads, and I have to keep deleting them. Plus it tries to start new threads in the group, which I have to reject. So annoying!
Is this happening in a group you administer as well?
The fix I found:
1. I added "manage_group_ai/" to the end of the group url in my browser:
2. This window popped up, trying to convince me of the benefits of AI. What bunkum! I pressed "Continue":
3. Again, trying to make itself seem fun and useful. I pressed "Feature settings":
4. Finally I got to this window, where I could turn everything off:
But don't be fooled. It wasn't as easy as just hitting those four switches. Every time I did, there were more popups trying to convince me to leave AI turned on. I had to patiently hit "Turn off" until I finally got it done.
Let me know if it works for you!
