My lg c2 doesn’t have any AI search or whatnot built in, but I think it has voice control. There’s nothing stopping you buying an old stock model.
I have no idea what the AI does when it is built in to the latest model but I assume it’s purely picture mode and contrast/brightness stuff - mine will automatically switch the colour profile depending on the content, but I assume that’s triggered by a magic packet on the video data from the streaming service.
