What is Divi AI?

Divi AI is a new feature that allows you to generate content using artificial intelligence within the Divi Builder. It is represented by a blue button labeled "Generate Content with AI" which appears in modules that contain text or images. Divi AI sparked a lot of discussion within the Divi community about whether or not it should have been added by default. However, it functions similarly to other Divi features and can be disabled if desired.

Pros and Cons of Divi AI

Before we delve into how to disable Divi AI, let's briefly discuss the pros and cons of this feature.

Pros:

• Simplifies content generation process
• Saves time by automatically generating content
• Allows for quick iterations and experimentation

Cons:

• May lead to generic or irrelevant content
• Uses up credits, especially when clients unintentionally generate content
• Potential security and data privacy concerns

It is important to weigh these pros and cons when determining whether Divi AI aligns with your specific needs and preferences.

How to Disable Divi AI

Disabling Divi AI is a straightforward process that can be done through the Divi settings in your WordPress dashboard. Follow these steps to disable Divi AI:

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Navigate to Divi in the left-HAND menu.

Reasons to Disable Divi AI

There are several reasons why you might want to disable Divi AI, especially if you are managing client websites or concerned about resource usage:

1. Preventing accidental changes: Clients may unintentionally generate or modify content, leading to unwanted changes on the website.
2. Preserving credits: Divi AI comes with a limited number of credits for content generation. By disabling it, you can ensure that your allocated credits are not used up unnecessarily.
3. Security and data privacy: If you have concerns about AI-generated content affecting data security or compromising user privacy, it may be best to disable Divi AI.

Evaluate your specific requirements and consider these factors before deciding whether or not to disable Divi AI.
