LG says it’ll let people delete the Copilot icon. But TV chatbots aren’t going away.

Good point, but this would probably cost them more money than they'd make selling my data. Mobile data plans aren't that cheap.

    They aren't expensive at all when it's at scale. Industrial control uses similar setups all over the place. Even if it wasn't specifically cellular, they could easily use one of the many mesh technologies to connect to another TV within a mile or so that does have an internet connection.
