“We think we’re on the cusp of the next evolution, where AI happens not just in that chatbot and gets naturally integrated into the hundreds of millions of experiences that people use every day,” says Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, in a briefing with The Verge. “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.”

ironically im sorta hoping to see this with linux were even installation uses a small local chatbot that guides the installation and then the os is chatbot centric where one of the things you do as you use is allow it to use additional resources to get more capability.

in a transparent and optional way it could be good. like even if just with controlling the screen with voice commands, like clicks this, open that. but only if it's fully offline and easily auditable.

I mean online in the same way when you install today it will grab updates (so optional) and I don't want all linux distros to be like this of course. I will be excited by what creative ways it can be used. I would be very annoyed if any linux distro were using a remote part of chat except for downloads. I doubt it would given how expensive it would be.

actually I could see it done online by omarchy. they have the money and the worldview for it
