I think I found the answer using an AI query
I think your AI has given you a convincing answer to the wrong question. ALCS is used to control storage heaters, hot water tanks and the like on an Economy 7 (or similar) tariff. If you have one, it's an important part of your electricity supply. If you don't have one, it's irrelevant.
the essential point is the consumer must agree first
That's correct for ALCS and for SSES.
and I certainly will not be agreeing to any such arrangement.
Your choice, your money. Those of us participating in the current demand management schemes are making/saving a few quid a month.
