In the Apple Intelligence settings there is only on or off.
In Messages there is only a check box for "summarize messages."
Where is the setting to disable the AI "smart replies" in Messages?
It's awful and is driving me bonkers.
Thanks!
MacBook Air, macOS 15.1
Doesn't Apple realize how insulting this is? When I'm talking with someone, I want to talk to them, not some sort of Turing Test bot. Imagine a text conversation where both sides are mindlessly firing off "Apple Intelligence" replies to each other. Even if the message is generally what I would say, the wording is unlikely exactly what I would say, and words matter.
There's no real "intelligence" in this AI. It's just mindlessly pattern-matching.

It's a suggestion, not a commandment. Take it or not. I use the suggestions that sound like me and ignore the rest. If I can use them, it saves me typing which is a great thing on an iPhone.

You can let Apple know your thoughts here:
For Apple OS 15.4.1 (Sequoia), I found the following worked to turn off suggested replies in iMessages and other programs:
System Settings > Keyboard > Edit... [to the right of Input Sources] > Turn "off" both "Show inline predictive text" and "Show suggested replies".
and not to mention it's all under my name all under my Apple ID and everything
i’ll be grateful if anybody posts here Apple rolls out the option to disable [not-so-]Smart Replies.
Just posted the solution
"Show inline predictive text" was already disabled, yet I'm still seeing smart replies in Messages.
You're right, I'm having the same problem. Sorry, I thought that would fix the issue. :( I'm also eager for an answer, it's incredibly frustrating.
Try this. Under "Apple Intelligence"

That's for disabling inline predictive text, not "smart" replies.
Disabling Show inline predictive text does not disable smart replies.
Your solution didn't work at all.
I just hate this Apple Intelligence garbage so much.
Your solution does not apply to iOS 18.3.1. No such settings.
Weird. My phone is up-to-date. I do not see Apple Intelligence in my settings, and I am not being annoyed by "smart" replies.
Where is Apple Intelligence?
How do you turn off "smart replies" for macOS/iOS Messages?
