Is Apple Intelligence loaded properly on my iMac?

iMac - M1 running MacOS 27.0.1 Question: In Settings Siri shows up as a line item and/or icon but not the words 'Siri & Apple Intelligence' I have toggled on everything that I can figure. The new Apple Intelligence/Siri icon appears at the top right of my desktop but how do I know if I actually have Apple Intelligence loaded properly?

Hello,

On macOS 27, the Apple Intelligence & Siri entry in System Settings was renamed simply "Siri" and shows a greyscale Siri orb icon.

Also, it would have added a Siri icon on your Dock and the Menu bar.
