Is it possible to physically disable the mic on the TVs without adversely affecting other functions? I see no reason a mic to be necessary on a TV at all.

Probably, just cut the wire connecting the mic.

I did a quick search and other suggestions are to fill the "mic hole", stick a needle in the mic hole to damage the mic, and applying a soldering iron to the mic. My LG tv has no visible mic hole, so they are getting crafty at hiding them.

Not sure about LG, but other brands usually put the microphone on the remote

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
