这是一个非常具有 2026 年特色的悖论。一些厌倦了持续监控、广告和其他干扰的科技用户，正利用人工智能让他们的智能设备“变笨”。
It's a very 2026 paradox. Some tech users, fed up with constant surveillance, ads and other distractions, are using artificial intelligence to "dumb down" their smart devices.
社交媒体上流传的帖子展示了人们如何利用 AI 编程提示词来破解和“精简”智能电视，通过移除不必要的应用程序和禁用部分追踪功能，试图让电视运行得更流畅。
Viral social media posts are showing people how to use AI coding prompts to hack and "debloat" smart TVs by removing unnecessary apps and programs and disabling some tracking features in an effort to make them run more smoothly.
虽然有人为此欢呼，但也有人警告，这种 AI 解决方案可能引发更大的问题——并表示有更简单、更安全的方法来简化杂乱的电视。
While some are rejoicing, others warn the AI solution can cause bigger problems — and say there are easier, safer ways to simplify a cluttered TV.
一起冰箱黑客攻击导致数百家法国超市的食物变质。网络安全专家称这是一个警钟 音频 你的电视在监视你吗？
A fridge hack spoiled food in hundreds of French supermarkets. Cybersecurity experts say it's a wake-up call Audio Is your TV spying on you?
“由于需要运行所有应用程序和进行数据收集，我的电视一直在用各种安全功能进行更新，”总部位于多伦多的科技分析师兼网络安全专家 Ritesh Kotak 告诉 CBC 新闻。
"My TV was updating all the time with different security features and that's because of all the apps and data collection that's required," Toronto-based tech analyst and cybersecurity expert Ritesh Kotak told CBC News.
“所以是的，这里有一股巨大的推力，要让电视不再那么‘智能’。” 国际研究团队研究物联网设备如何与家庭网络交互 2023 年 10 月 31 日 时长 一个简单的修复方法？
"So yeah, here is a big push to make the TVs not as smart." International team of researchers looked at how IoT devices interact with home networks October 31, 2023 Duration An easy fix?
一些人将他们的编码脚本——由 AI 代理执行的一组编程指令——发布在互联网上供他人复制。
Some people have posted their coding scripts — sets of programming instructions carried out by AI agents — on the internet for others to copy.
名为“dumbtv”的脚本由其开发者创建，旨在修复一台 Fire TV，因为主屏幕上持续不断的广告和应用程序打开速度太慢，导致该设备“变得难以使用”。
called "dumbtv " was created by its developer to fix a Fire TV that had "become painful to use" because of constant ads on the home screen and apps taking too long to open.
Kotak 表示，人们本质上是在利用 AI 代理帮助识别电视的 IP 地址，然后阻止特定流量，例如电视主屏幕上的广告以及发送回电视制造商的分析数据。
Kotak says people are essentially using AI agents to help them identify their TV's IP address, then blocking certain traffic, like ads on TV home screens and analytics that get sent back to the company that makes the TV.
有人表示，他们成功让 Claude AI 代理教他们如何破解电视，并指导他们完成整个过程，以便自己动手操作，这是一种被称为“氛围编程”的做法的一个例子。推出 dumbtv，无监视、无广告、完全可定制，设置只需将你的代理指向这个代码库 —— DevMuzzammil。但这并非对所有人都奏效。一些用户怀疑 Claude 甚至不会对这种建议做出回应，还有人说他的尝试实际上让他的 Android 电视变得无法使用。
Some say they had success with asking a Claude AI agent how to hack their TV and talk them through the process so they could do it themselves, an example of a process called "vibe coding." introducing dumbtv no spying no ads from tv fully customisable to setup just point your agent to this repo - DevMuzzammil But that hasn't worked for everyone. Some users are skeptical that Claude would even respond to that suggestion, and one said his attempt actually made his Android TV unusable Experts have urged people not to use these AI solutions warning they could cause bigger problems.
专家们敦促人们不要使用这些 AI 解决方案，警告称这可能会导致更大的问题。他们还指出，现有的应用如 Kyu Launcher 和 AT4K Launcher 可以在没有风险的情况下达到类似效果。人们“开始厌倦了”总部位于安大略省伦敦的科技分析师兼记者 Carmi Levy 表示，精通技术的人长期以来一直在破解设备以进行定制，但“氛围编程”将这种能力向广大受众敞开了大门。
They also point to existing apps like Kyu Launcher and AT4K Launcher that can achieve similar results without the risk. People 'starting to get fed up' Tech-savvy individuals have long been hacking devices to customize them, but vibe-coding has opened that capability to a much wider audience, says London, Ont.-based tech analyst and journalist Carmi Levy.
例如，一些人使用类似策略让智能手机“变笨”，目的是让它们不那么让人分心、不那么让人上瘾。
For example, some people have used similar strategies to dumb down their smartphones, with the goal of making them less distracting and addictive.
但 Levy 警告说，“氛围编程”不适合“胆小者”，因为人们可能会无意中损坏设备、使保修失效，或安装错误类型的软件。
But Levy warns that vibe coding is not for the "faint of heart," because people can inadvertently destroy their devices, void warranties or install the wrong kind of software.
治愈刷屏成瘾？专注类应用流行，但专家警告更多技术可能增加压力 收听 为什么“笨手机”可能正迎来高光时刻 “这绝对是一个‘效果因人而异’的场景。有时它会奏效，有时不会。有时你最终会弄坏你正试图更新的那台设备。” Levy 说，就智能电视而言，许多此类更改只需调整电视本身的设置即可实现。
A cure for scrolling? Focus apps are popular, but experts warn more tech can add stress Listen Why the 'dumb phone' may be having a moment "It's definitely a 'your mileage may vary' type of scenario. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't. Sometimes you'll end up breaking the very device that you're trying to update." Levy says in the case of smart TVs, many of these changes can be made by simply tweaking the settings on the TV itself.
他使用 Meta 的 AI 代理 Muse 进行 Marketplace 销售。随后，它在他不知情的情况下设置了一个 10 月 21 日 虽然他不一定建议聘用 AI 代理来完成这项工作，但 Levy 表示，这一新兴趋劣是对日益侵入消费产品的监控和数据收集的一种可以理解的反应。
He used Meta’s AI agent Muse for Marketplace sales. Then it set one up behind his back October 21 While he doesn't necessarily recommend enlisting AI agents to do the job, Levy says this emerging trend is an understandable response to the surveillance and data collection that's increasingly invading consumer products.
“我们购买的每一台设备都必须是智能的，我们购买的每一台设备都必须有一个应用程序，并且必须收集各种信息，”他说。
"Every device that we buy has to be smart, every device we buy has to have an app and it has to collect all sorts of information," he said.
“我认为，坦率地说，人们开始对所有这些数据收集感到厌倦。他们开始对这种监控经济做出反应。” 安全顾虑 Kotak 表示，解决这些顾虑的一种方法是使用 Fire Stick 或其他预装了你想要的应用程序的多媒体流媒体设备，将其插入电视的 HDMI 接口。因为这些工具（也包括 Apple TV 设备）拥有自己的 Wi-Fi 适配器，你可以让电视保持离线状态，这样它基本上只会作为流媒体设备的显示器发挥作用。
"I think, frankly, people are starting to get fed up with all of this data collection. And they're starting to react to this surveillance economy." Security concerns Kotak says one way to address these concerns is to use a Fire Stick or other multimedia streaming device loaded with the apps you want that plugs into a TV's HDMI port. Because these tools (which also include the Apple TV device) have their own Wi-Fi adapters, you can leave your TV offline so it will basically just function as a monitor for the streaming device.
他提醒用户还应考虑到，在将智能电视连接互联网的情况下对其进行破解，最终可能会使他们更容易受到外部攻击。
He cautions that users should also consider that hacking their smart TV while leaving it connected to the internet could end up making them more vulnerable to outside attacks.
研究人员称：能即时学习的 AI 驱动“蠕虫”是对你设备的最新潜在威胁 加拿大黑客在 Snowflake 数据泄露案中认罪，窃取数据并勒索数百万 他指出，不断弹出在电视上的那些烦人的更新，通常与安全有关。
AI-driven 'worms' that learn on the fly are the latest potential threat to your devices, researchers say Canadian hacker pleads guilty in Snowflake data breach case, stealing data and extorting people for millions Those annoying updates that keep popping up on your TV, he notes, are usually security-related.
“重要的是要了解，现在许多智能电视也内置了麦克风…… 我担心的是，黑客是否有可能接管电视上的其中一些功能，”Kotak 说。
"It's important to understand that a lot of smart TVs now also have microphones in them … My fear would be that is it possible for hackers to take over some of those features on your television," Kotak said.
“如果你的电视将连接互联网，而你屏蔽了某些服务且不进行那些更新，你可能会让自己处于脆弱状态。”
"If your TV is going to be connected to the internet, and you're blocking certain services and you're not doing those updates, you may be making yourself vulnerable."
