How to reduce macOS storage usage discrepancy and remove forced AI integration?

In my system storage, it says that "macOS" takes up 28.8GB, but when I press on the info icon, it now says it takes up 39.66GB. How can I clear this storage usage? and why is there such a large discrepancy???


And what is with the complete lack of transparency, I am honestly fuming from the forced implementation of there dumb AI and now the integration of ChatGPT, one of the least trustworthy and most unethical companies on the planet right now? It honestly feels kind of criminal if you ask me, its a dang panopticon. I don't want this AI stuff on or near any of my tech.Apple
