<sigh> I'm not as viscerally knee-jerk opposed to these things as many, but I definitely resent the presumptive use of my precious disk space

from the Ars Technica review of macOS 27:

Generative Al is unavoidable if you install macOS 27 Golden Gate. I'm being very literal: <highlight>There used to be a toggle you could hit if you wanted to turn off Apple Intelligence and delete the gigabytes' worth of Al models it would download to your disk, and now there isn't.</highlight> Apple Intelligence defines the Golden Gate release, in everything from its marketing to its features to the chips it runs on to the amount of space it takes on your disk. Ready or not, here it is.

Why would Apple suddenly change position and do this ?? Whatever happened to letting customers *choose* ??
