How to turn off all Apple Intelligence and SIRI App Access without going through each app one by one?

Hi, I upgraded to 18.2 but I do not want to have anything to do with Apple Intelligence.

I went to Apple Intelligence & Siri under Settings. Although I have not clicked on "Get Apple Intelligence", I noticed that at the bottom, under Apple Intelligence and Siri App Access, there are App Clips and Apps. They are all turned on to allow Apple Intelligence to learn from them. There are probably 60 or more apps listed, all turned on by Apple by default to allow Apple Intelligence to learn from it. How to turn them all off without going through one by one?

I'll need to know this too soon. But really, I'm more scared of the humans than of Apple intelligence.

If Apple Intelligence is enable only when the users click on "Get Apple Intelligence", why all the apps have already given permission for Apple Intelligence to gather data and learn from the apps? Also, if Apple really wants to give users an option not to use Apple Intelligence, whey there no one setting to turn all these permissions off all at once?

My current phone won't run 18.2, but I can hypothesize that permission to use a service does not assume that the service exists. So if Apple intelligence is off, then the permissions are irrelevant?

Are you referring to this?
