Any brick-and-mortar banks in US that don't use AI?

I just discovered that my main current bank (wells fargo blehh) has integrated an AI Chatbot, plus the mobile app is getting really buggy so I suspect they're using AI coding or something like that. I'd like to switch to a bank that doesn't use AI at all, if that even exists. AI is frustrating as hell for me to interact with but I'm also worried about the financial risk I'm exposed to if my bank is using AI.

I tried looking around on reddit but didn't find anything. Are any of you aware of banks in the U.S. that aren't using AI at all? Ideally a bank with physical locations since I have to go into one from time to time.

I'm aware of the likelihood that they've all embraced AI and there's nothing I can do but... here's hoping...

ETA okay new question--anyone aware of groups organizing nationally to call for legislation around getting AI out of banking?

I'll be teaching as a professor this fall (hooray), and although there are some helpful college-level trainings on general student welfare, there are no specific trainings on how to best support my transgender students. There's so much targeted legislation right now that it seems really important to specifically create a safe learning environment for transgender folks. My masters wasn't too long ago so I can infer some supports from my own time, but I wanted to check in and see if anyone wants to share from their own experience.

I made sure to add my pronouns to my email signature, and I'll see about adding a non-discrimination clause to the syllabus. I think it would be nice to have some sort of statement about how the lecture space follows the paradox of tolerance--I do not tolerate discrimination. I dunno' if that would just be annoying lipservice, though?

disclaimers: I'm in the LGBT+ community but I am not trans. I have trans family members and friends but clearly that doesn't give me as much context as if I was personally experiencing today's targeted harassment.
