semidror · hn · 2026-09-21
An HN user reports that on macOS 27, after disabling Siri in Settings, blocking Siri extensions via Screen Time, and turning off all Siri- and Apple Intelligence-related services, a "Siri AI.app" process still shows up in Activity Monitor after reboot. They compare the always-on behavior, combined with Apple's Personal Context, to Microsoft's Recall, and ask whether it is truly impossible to fully disable Siri, Siri AI and related services on macOS 27.
