People really have no idea what AI is. And in many cases those “AI features” are just machine learning. I’m currently running Ubuntu and I have several AI features running. One of them then is Handy.comptuer and it’s a really nice push to talk voice recognition software. I’m dictating this post with it and it’s awesome.
Another feature is image classifications integrated in Immich. It’s nice to have your personal photo library and all the pictures that you have ever taken classified so that you can search for “dog” or “hamster” or “John”. There are great text-to-speech programs out there. Everything is running locally and stuff like that is really useful to have in your OS. And it won’t boil the planet, the energy requirements are quite low.
Text to speech already existed and doesn’t need AI. Photos admittedly if I could have a sovereign version of Google photos that incorporates some of those features that was FOSS and offline, then ok maybe that’s something useful “AI” can do.
I’m reasonably tech literate though and the idea of even exploring if such a thing is possible seems like more pain than it’s even worth

I know that text to speech does work without AI, but the modern AI-based models are so much better.
