It's very clear when ChatGPT gets involved - you get a prompt asking you if you want to send the query to ChatGPT ("ChatGPT" being referred to by name). There's no feasible way to have your data sent to ChatGPT unintentionally.

Anyway, ChatGPT was a very small portion of the Apple Intelligence demo. The significant majority of the functionality they showed (all the non-ChatGPT stuff) was on-device or in Apple's Private Cloud Compute, the privacy story for which is quite good.
