How do I disable Apple Intelligence on my MacBook Air?

How do I turn off AI in the mail program on my MacBook Air? I've already disabled the AI Summary feature, but I want to turn off AI entirely. Also, it has reordered how I receive my emails and I'd like to return to my original mail delivery. It's sticking emails into random places that I can not find easily. Argh!!

100% agree. I had to turn it off as the AI keeps automatically changing words to make nonsensical sentences. Example from today: I type "I'll remind her to reach out...." and Apple AI changes it to "I'll reminder her to reach out...". Of course I send the email before I catch it.


And the AI Summary feature is just completely asinine. I don't want to read a synopsis of 10 emails in a string, I want to read the last message that was sent to me.


I remain unworried about AI ruling the world.
