I updated my MacBook Air to Golden Gate 27.0.1 last night. And this morning I downloaded and installed RemoveMacAI, a free app to remove Apple Intelligence. (Apple itself, to its discredit, offers no way to do so.) Any number of venerable Mac observers have taken note of RemoveMacAI (including Daring Fireball). It’s easy to use — just make sure to install the profile the app creates. You can undo all changes at any time.
I had planned to use this app from the getgo, but when I saw the squiggly little AI circle next to the cursor as I was about to write the story of our mouse, I knew I had to install this app at once. Human intelligence, please.

I just updated Sequoia and was presented with an option to turn on Apple AI. Thanks, but no thanks!
ReplyDeleteI skipped Tahoe and would like to have stayed with Sequoia. In Sequoia, you can turn it off, but Golden Gate has no way to do so. So someone invented a workaround.
