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

This doesn't work, there is no No. 1 any more that you're indicating in your screen shot. This is not a thing in Sequoia. The only way I find to disable the infernal suggesting in messages is to turn off Apple Intelligence completely. It is SO annoying because I can't even use the simple function of hitting the RETURN key to send a message on my Mac without first clicking into the message field to dismiss the dumass auto text it wants me to choose. BAD BAD design, completely unacceptable for Apple to do this.
Where is Apple Intelligence?
This question and answers are for MacOS
This seems to work!
There is no such page!
This is working for me also.
I went thru the trouble of signing in just to say I agree with you.

It’s bizarre that this setting is behind a button that starts with the word "About." "About" on a computer should not take you to a place to do things, but rather to tell you about things.
Neither of the "solutions" posted here actually turn it off ("Show inline predictive text" or "Show Siri suggestions in application"). It does not appear there's any way to disable it without turning off Apple Intelligence altogether (and I'm not even sure _that_ works).
These "suggestions" are awful. They're bland, are rarely the "answer" I'd give and _never_ the way I'd give it-- and have that irritating "shimmer effect" just to emphasize their awfulness.
Honestly, none of this AI stuff (Apple or otherwise) seems to work anywhere near as well as it's proponents claim, and I'm not seeing much downside for just turning it all off with the master switch at this point.
try this, I think it worked for me (if you
mean the rewriting function) was also driving me crazy.

If you completely disable AI it will stop this annoyance, which I did and I'll never turn that garbage back on.
How do you turn off "smart replies" for macOS/iOS Messages?
