Question to the Blogosphere...

 
Question, my blogging friends.  This started today - I have this annoying, blue dot that VERY MUCH RESEMBLES the Microsoft CoPilot butterfly, telling me that I can "automatically insert Google Search links into (my) posts".  I DO suspect this is something Google AI-ish that they are pushing out.  It appears when I have something in draft or edit.  
 
Anyone else seeing this?  
 
Getting ready for a road / boat trip for the weekend, will not be deeper diving into this for a few days at least (Morning Coffee is queued up for the duration).  If you've hit this and was able to turn it off, leave me a comment.  
 
I did pose the question of how to disable it to the Help Desk.   
 
Thanks!
Rade

Rade, not a blogger, but Google AI says "the image displays an icon commonly associated with photo or video editing applications, often representing "Enhance," "Magic wand," or "Auto-correction" features.

The remainder of the definition deals with a means to improve image quality, for making adjustments or edits, its purpose to simplify the editing process by automatically adjusting elements like color, contrast, and brightness to achieve a more visually appealing result.
Hope something here helps

I've not seen this myself.

I don't get that.... I get a "G" surrounded by blue, and suggesting I log into Google (I already am! AI isn't very intelligent on Blogger) and use the Grammarly editing function.
