I am 100% sure there will be a `defaults write ...` command and/or a policy setting via Apple Configurator (mobileconfig profile) to disable it completely. They will probably push hard on the "enabled by default" part. Since they are literally paying millions to Google...

of course it is, all the cute little options to toggle off AI are only temporary... it's going to be inextricably baked into systems as time goes on, especially if it's a local model

The author missed the big red "Turn Siri Off" button at the bottom of the same preferences window that they're using as proof that it can't be turned off. https://imgur.com/a/hB5fWLS
