  Read the post. It doesn't look possible. Motives unknown.

  That's frustrating. I know they want to force everyone into it because it's a future subscription rev stream for them but, come on.

  I am not happy about the forced inclusion of AI slop into my operating system.

  I'm a mac user but not really a power user. Is there not some hidden system directory you can go delete yourself and be done with it?

    can someone figure out the right invocation of defaults write to script it? I think it would be pretty ironic if that same person used an LLM to achieve it :)

  Having to enable and use Screen Time to disable Siri AI is the level of passive-aggressiveness you almost have to admire.
