Process name "knowledgeconstructd" is taking too much memory

[FuzzyApple]

My iMac crashes when it runs out of application memory but there are NO Apps open.
This is the message in the Activity Monitor-
Process name "knowledgeconstructd" is taking 120GB of memory.
How do I trace the source of this memory gobble to turn it off?

If you manually kill the process, does it relaunch? If so, automatically or on login?

knowledge agents are related to Siri, they can be stopped/disabled

I turned off Siri from my iMac 2017 with Ventura and the memory drainage is improved. Thank you for that suggestion.
I also have significant memory drain from something named "suggestd" in the Activity Monitor. What app uses that so I can switch it off too. Thanks in advance.

The command "man suggestd" in Terminal returns:
"suggestd – daemon that processes user content in order to detect contacts, events, named entities, etc."

With SIP disabled (csrutil disable from Terminal in Recovery), it can be stopped and disabled:

launchctl bootout gui/501/com.apple.suggestd
launchctl disable gui/501/com.apple.suggestd
