"AI is disabled" and "world more similar to the world as it would have been without the AI interfering" are both magical categories. Your qualitative ontology has big, block objects labeled "AI" and "world" and an arrow from "AI" to "world" that can be either present or absent. The real world is a borderless, continuous process of quantum fields in which shaking one electron affects another electron on the opposite side of the universe.
