Apparently an unpopular opinion here but I highly appreciate the move by Apple to embrace local AI. Sure it’s not perfect in any sense, but I like the direction.

Same here. Local is not the problem. Control is.

I’m curious what this tool does that is different from turning off Apple Intelligence in the Settings because they already give you some degree of control.
The problem is there is no single switch to turn it off. You have to go to each nook and cranny in the settings and toggle a switch. And if you miss anything, that 20 something gigabytes of space doesn’t free up. I’m all for local AI features, but it should be a one toggle switch to turn it off or remove it.
The reddit user featured in the article had to create a script to automate it and keep it off.
