LG's recent software update has forcibly installed Microsoft Copilot, an AI assistant, on smart TVs without removal options, sparking widespread user backlash over privacy, bloatware, and loss of control. This highlights growing tensions in smart devices, where monetization often overrides user preferences.
Looks like the last update I applied to my LG TV via USB was truly the last one it’ll ever receive. No way am I ever connecting my TV to any network, that’s what streaming devices are for 🙂
