How to turn off AI on Mac Golden Gate

Hi Folks, I just updated to Golden Gate 27 on my Mac. Now when I am typing online (doesn't matter what website) it will occasionally highlight the words blue and give me grammar or word-choice suggestions. I am looking to turn this off. I tried to follow another user's instructions to disable Apple AI but when I go into screen time it won't let me toggle the version of Siri that I have (beta AI) or toggle off any of the permissions. I want to make sure there is not AI reading my screen or interacting with any of the content I'm generating on my Mac either on or offline. Any help would be welcome! Thank you

If you want to ensure specific features like Writing Tools are disabled, you can also check your Screen Time settings under Content & Privacy > Intelligence & Siri to make sure they are restricted.
