On Reddit, RemoveMacAI\u2019s developer said the tool is open source and further explained how it works:<\/p>\n
It uses a configuration profile you approve in System Settings plus Apple\u2019s own asset service, so [System Integrity Protection<\/a>] stays on and nothing in \/System gets touched directly. removemacai revert removes the profile, and macOS downloads the models again when you turn a feature back on.<\/p>\n The dev also said<\/a> you can remove only the Apple Intelligence features you don\u2019t want and keep the others.<\/p>\n Some users on Reddit have reported that the tool works, and it has 1,700 stars on GitHub as of this writing.<\/p>\n Interest in RemoveMacAI demonstrates the aversion that some users have to some or all of Apple Intelligence\u2019s features, despite growing focus from Apple on AI-driven device and software upgrades in its computers and other devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cReminds me of all the de-crufting you\u2019ve always needed to do when you install Windows. Looks like we\u2019ve gotten to the point on macOS too, where you need to run third-party scripts on a new OS installation to gain back control of your system resources and remove unwanted crapware,\u201d a Hacker News<\/a> user wrote in response to RemoveMacAI.<\/p>\n Although many users are happy to leverage Apple Intelligence in their gadgets, RemoveMacAI is a simple way for the rest to regain control over Apple Intelligence\u2019s presence on their computers that Apple previously offered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Reddit, RemoveMacAI\u2019s developer said the tool is open source and further explained how it works: It uses…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":872158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-872157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=872157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/872158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=872157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=872157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
