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
