I just dont want to use AI. Is there a setting to turn this off?
No there is not.
Oh no. How do I delete ALL my data from your Logos servers and all your 3rd party partners? Lots of sensitive notes there.
Honestly, it is not that serious
What is not serious? Use of AI within my Bible study app or the developers choice not to offer opt-out option to disable completely all AI functionality? In fact there should be separate Windows version that does not embed any AI in its binary and assurance any data synced to the Logos servers is not going to be used in any way for AI ingestion. I think this is serious.
How do I know when Logos is using AI?You’re always in control of when Logos uses AI, and it will never do so without your knowledge. All AI tools are marked with a sparkle icon (✨), so you can know in advance whether AI will be used.

More importantly, your user documents and notes are not processed (EDIT: with the possible exception of sermons) with any LLM model and are never used for training AI so you don't need to opt out or delete them.
EDIT: If you generate questions for a sermon that you have written, then that sermon will be sent to a LLM in order to generate application questions. This only happens if you explicitly request it, and only for that specific document.
Well, I am not sure just how true this is that "All AI tools are marked with a sparkle icon so you can know in advance whether AI will be used."…. See example above, I click on a word and open it in Factbook, the Factbook opens in "All" tab which is indicated by a sparkle icon, at this point its too late, I am already using feature that uses AI (and only God knows what context data was sent to generate it) without being able to decide if I want to use it or not. This just highlights my point all this AI stuff should have a global opt-out that just prevents me from accessing accidentally.
Okay, I am confused. I thought you were asking about AI in the sense of LLM's that YOU use in Logos. That is a very separate issue than the issue of the security/privacy of your personal data. What are you actually concerned about. Logos does NOT share your data when it executes an AI command to 3rd party providers.
Hi @Andel Roncesvalles ,
There's a setting that allow the program to turn off Use Internet.
So when the search happens, it will look like this :
Might this be what you're looking for?
On desktop you can install an older version of Logos that did not have AI features.
I never see the FL's AI (or, I've never seen it). I don't subscribe and I operate offline.
But for 'full' disclosure, my own Bible software uses 'AI' for OL analytics. I just have no need for regurgitating AI spirituality from 'my Library'.
There should be an off switch; for now avoid subscribing or stay offline.
Added: I forgot how Power Lookup works, so I clicked on Help. It defaults to AI (and didn't work; I'm offline).
I'm pretty sure the All symbol in Factbook is not supposed to indicate the use of AI. It is admittedly very similar. I would encourage a change here in order to avoid this confusion.
The "All" icon in Factbook is not an AI sparkle icon.
This is good idea, I tried that and looks to be what I was looking for (no AI because program does not use internet). Thank you. But this now raises a question,I cannot purchase new books in the app and when I purchase a new book on the website how do I get it into the app on Windows? Seems complicated.
You can't. Ergo, don't subscribe.
when I purchase a new book on the website how do I get it into the app on Windows?
@Andel Roncesvalles This would require turning on internet temporarily and then turning it off again once all resource updates are complete.
Strange it looks just like at AI icon used all over the internet
No one is going to steal your data or notes. If you dislike AI, you do not have to subscribe to Logos, which comes with AI features. If you go offline, that will solve your problem for the most part. You can go online when you purchase any new books or resources.
It's not the sparkle icon illustrated in our documentation: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/35181728416397-How-Logos-uses-AI
Thanks for pointing out that it is the icon that Google has used. We'll look at changing our design to avoid confusion.
I cannot find the Auto-select icon under the Tool icon. Can anyone help?
Can Desktop have the same reading view as that of mobile.
Is it possible to link a Notebook with a Bible Study Builder Document. I don't want to link a note but a complete Notebook.
I know there probably isn't one but thought I'd ask here. One thing I'm doing this year is looking at updated versions of different translations. In the last 15 years, we've seen revisions of the NIV, NASB, and NRSV, among others. I've always been a bit fascinated with the idiosyncratic NEB (1970), and this year I'm…
In Genesis 3:1 when Satan asked the question, “yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of “every” tree of the garden?” In some translations like the NIV instead of the word “every” tree of the garden it’s “any” tree of garden; which makes a major difference! Which is correct? It has to be “every” because “any” is too far from…
