A user reported on Hacker News that they disabled Siri in the Settings app and further disabled Siri and its extensions in Settings > Screen Time. They also disabled all Siri-related and Apple Intelligence-related services following instructions from a GitHub repository. However, after restarting their device, they observed that a 'Siri' process was still running in Activity Monitor, specifically the 'Siri AI.app'. The user noted that these features, along with Apple's Personal Context, resemble Microsoft's Recall. They inquired if others have had similar experiences and whether it is truly impossible to completely disable Siri, Siri AI, Apple Intelligence, and all related services and features on macOS 27.
