There's nothing about Ubuntu's proposed use of AI that seems bad at all. Using it to improve accessibility is a good thing, especially when it's open source, local-only, and sandboxed. I can't see how having high quality speech-to-text would be a bad decision. Much of that stuff is probably not even considered "AI" by most people.
Arch users are forced to write their own AI?
AI - Archist Intelligence
(dude this is so cringe)
AI powered by the Arch Wiki and AUR
I'm curious how they will handle the Linux kernel itself, Linus has given the green light for AI slop.

What are they going to do about upstreams that use it? Like the Linux kernel for example.
Nothing, that's out of scope.
Oh, I didn't know Ubuntu was a cuck OS. Good to know.
