Greatly prefer users installing these functions and apps themselves. Instead Apple me has double checking settings on every update so I can toggle off stuff that should have been opt-in. At least I can continue to refuse to opt into the MacOS AI implementation for now.

Now they've gone and doubled[0] the recommended space AI needs on base model phones shipping with under spec'd storage in the first place. If it goes up any more you'll be looking at giving up nearly 10% of a base model 128gb phone's storage to AI.
