Social media users shared AI-generated scripts that strip apps and disable tracking on Android-based smart TVs, prompting tech experts to warn of security risks and recommend safer alternatives, CBC reported. Earlier open-source projects had employed AI tools such as Anthropic’s Claude Code to build custom launchers that remove pre-installed applications, advertisements and telemetry without rooting the device. These utilities, described in reports from Gizmodo, Tom’s Guide, Decrypt and The Verge, offer reversible, non-root modifications and aim to reduce bloatware on Android and Google TV platforms.
