Describe the feature you'd like

It'd be great if users could completely disable and hide all LLM-related features and UI components (auto-tagging, summaries, LLM settings, etc).

Ideally, defaults, as well as instance-wide disabling, could be set for the entire instance via a admin settings or environment variables. Defaulting to "off" would effectively mean that users would have to opt in to see LLM festures, while instance-wide disablement would prevent users from being able to even see an "enable LLM features" setting.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

LLMs are hotly contended for a number of (very valid) reasons ethically, ecologically, psychologically, etc. I'd like to try Karakeep and probably recommend it to others, but I and everyone else in my circles will not be willing to use it if LLM features are so prominent. Even if they require the configuration of models/prompts/etc before they're functional, the visibility of the features alone is a huge turnoff to people who view the practices and motivations associated with the development and use of LLMs as normative at best and hostile/predatory at worst.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No.

We already hide summaries if LLM is not configured, and auto tagging just wouldn't work if you don't have it configured (it's opt-in). So what else do you want to hide? The AI settings tab? Anything else?

Thanks for the commit to hide AI settings. I'm not using any LLMs, so the "AI Tags" section on the Tags page is also quite redundant for me. Would appreciate if that could be hidden eventually. Thank you!
