How do I disable AI suggestions in Apple Mail?

A thoughtful email was received and when I went to reply, Apple intelligence already had a suggested reply that said: "Sounds profound, I agree." A completely inappropriate response. I do not want AI suggestions like this and going to Apple Mail settings I see no way to control AI in Mail. So I went to System Settings and the top choice allows me to turn off Apple Intelligence which when I did it also displayed a message that writing "helps" be off too. I hope that works for emails. The message seemed to be an all-or-nothing AI choice except for SIRI; maybe there's a way to choose where AI can be available when wanted?

Thank you, that is a solution for recent iPhones, (mine is 12pro and not able to be using AI). My question was for the desktop Apple Mail which is where most of my email is generated. When writing, the word/spelling anticipation process works well.
