I think people are unaware of the difference between Apple Intelligence and Siri - they even have the same colour glow now. Also, can you always tell if it's Siri or Apple Intelligence handling a request?

The only privacy screen on macOS and iOS is during oob or after OS updates, and it does not make a distinction. As the OP post highlights, there is no way to avoid said telemetry from being sent or configure it in Settings. So all this is not only shady but quite illegal.

Apple Intelligence currently handles no requests. ChatGPT handles some, but asks for confirmation first with the default settings.
