To clarify submission- -if you disable the plugin, it will be enabled when you restart. -if you uninstall the plugin, on restart an old version will appear, enabled, in its place, begging for an update. However given that JetBrains didn't block either uninstall or disable, the most logical explanation is that this is a bug/unintentional. The rollout of this AI plugin has been really poorly done, with it completely failing to function on the first iteration. You couldn't even login or activate. Hanlon's razor applies. JetBrains has too good of corporate behaviours to be trying to fool people in this case, and the surrounding evidence all points to a bug.

> if you disable the plugin, it will be enabled when you restart. Must be bug or misunderstanding , I disabled it last week and it stayed off, the ticket complains that the plugin can't be wiped but this is not the only plugin that works like that.

  For example, the Kubernetes plugin is also bundled with IDEA.

  I went back in and it turns out there are four separate, related plugins- AI Assistant Full Line Code completion Machine Learning Code completion Machine Learning in Search Everywhere I had just been disabling the AI Assistant, which was being re-enabled by one or all of the other three that depended upon it. If I disable all four they do not re-enable.

    I checked and I also had the 2 Machine learning plugins enabled, but the AI assistent was never re-enabled. I done a checka dn disabled some other plugins I do not need anymore now. I was in the beta test for the AI assistant plugin but in my work I only used it 2 or 3 times from curiosity, for me at that time the AI could not help, maybe in future when it can understand the entire project then it would make more sense.

Worth noting that "enabled" doesn't mean it's actually activated. The plugin explicitly asks you to activate it if you want to use it. So it's not analyzing your code or sending anything to Jetbrains' service. This is much ado about nothing.

It's the same behavior with the Kotlin plugin - you can't remove it and even when disabled it'll constantly hassle you about updating. I suspect the root cause is that they want to inflate the numbers of how many people "use" their new service (AI) or language (Kotlin). This way they can just report every single installation of IntelliJ as part of their marketing/sales numbers.
