    I no longer have a Mac as I’ve moved over to Linux, but my iOS device leaves me very frustrated that I can no longer disable this AI stuff with a simple toggle.

    It seems insane given that Apple’s competitors (Microsoft, Firefox, probably others) moved toward a global AI switch to make the choice easy for their customers.

      Stop updating the OS. It gets a tad annoying that not all apps will continue to work, but that's what the web is for.

        Yeah, this is very clearly the 1-3 years of updates you have to just skip while they figure it out. Like Win11 or the Touch Bar.
