How do I remove Apple Inteligence from all my devices?

I don’t want any Large Language Model or Machine Learning, or to use the incorrect term, Artificial Intelligence, on any of my devices. Mainly for moral and ethical reasons (it is a system that relies on and promotes the theft of intellectual property) but also because it is not Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence would clean my toilet and iron my laundry and leave the fun stuff like making music and writing poetry to the people, who have genuine life experience and emotions to communicate to each other. Will it be possible to continue using Macintosh without the Apple Intelligence scam? Or do I have to finally abandon Macintosh? An option that Apple has been pushing me towards for a while now.

So, you likely just won't own any smart phone in the future. None of them let you remove what is built into the operating system. Not Android. Not Google. None. You won't likely buy another computer with either MacOS or Windows either. Windows has CoPilot, which you can't remove. A much simpler thing to do is to not sign into these options as no one is forcing you to use them.


Since this is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't participate, we honestly don't care if you ever buy another Apple device. Apple won't see your threat here.
