In the Apple Intelligence settings there is only on or off.
In Messages there is only a check box for "summarize messages."
Where is the setting to disable the AI "smart replies" in Messages?
It's awful and is driving me bonkers.
Thanks!
MacBook Air, macOS 15.1

This doesn't work, there is no No. 1 any more that you're indicating in your screen shot. This is not a thing in Sequoia. The only way I find to disable the infernal suggesting in messages is to turn off Apple Intelligence completely. It is SO annoying because I can't even use the simple function of hitting the RETURN key to send a message on my Mac without first clicking into the message field to dismiss the dumass auto text it wants me to choose. BAD BAD design, completely unacceptable for Apple to do this.
Your solution does not apply to iOS 18.3.1. No such settings.
Weird. My phone is up-to-date. I do not see Apple Intelligence in my settings, and I am not being annoyed by "smart" replies.
Where is Apple Intelligence?
This question and answers are for MacOS
This seems to work!
There is no such page!
This is working for me also.
I went thru the trouble of signing in just to say I agree with you.

It’s bizarre that this setting is behind a button that starts with the word "About." "About" on a computer should not take you to a place to do things, but rather to tell you about things.
If you completely disable AI it will stop this annoyance, which I did and I'll never turn that garbage back on.
How do you turn off "smart replies" for macOS/iOS Messages?
