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.

My favorite AI interaction ever. I really want it on a T-shirt.

You have been a bad user. I have been a good Bing!

Just to add, I don't know why you posted your objections in the Sonoma Community since Apple Intelligence requires Sequoia 15.1. 🤔

Thanks, It is the OS on my Mac that I am concerned about, not the phone IOS. I keep getting pop ups telling me how to use it an have not figured out how to stop that yet.

I dont find it scary, I have tried various "AI" systems and I find I don't need it and and don't want to loose hard drive space to something I will never use.

I'm not AI adverse in any way. I think folks who are, are just going to be frustrated as it's here and will be ever more present in our futures.

Hmm, not sure why you're getting pop ups. I just set up a new M4 Pro mini a few days ago, and when it asked about AI, I choose Skip for now, or whatever the wording was.

I know it's not installed because it's clear in Settings that the AI heading is prompting me to install it if I wish. But, I get no prompts or pop ups badgering me to install AI.
