You can't. This is done automatically, as soon as the Mac is running and connected to power.

You would always have to unplug the Mac while you are logged into your account and and only connect it to power for charging, when it is turned off. This will cause problems with other tasks, like the syncing with iCloud Photos. But unplugging the Mac will stop the Curating immediately.

Photos is needing the results of the automatic scene analysis for many tasks. If you block it, the layout of the Library views (All Photos, Days, Months, Years) will be poor, there will be no Memories, no recognised faces, the search will not work well.
