I disabled Siri in the Settings app, and then further disabled Siri and its extensions in Settings > Screen Time.
Next, I disabled all Siri-related and Apple Intelligence-related services as per https://github.com/OleksandrKrupko/mac-os-debloat
But after restarting, I could still see a "Siri" process running in Activity Monitor. Upon further inspection, I found that it is the "Siri AI.app".
These "features", together with Apple's Personal Context sound very similar to Microsoft's Recall.
Does anyone have the same experience? Is it really impossible to fully turn off Siri, Siri AI, Apple Intelligence and all related services and features on macOS 27?
