Seems like this will not be a thing in most typical PCs, for the time being, as it requires specific hardware and opt in to a feature.
Not liking how pervasive AI features have become, though.
The joke is that the model itself runs locally, but it still is basically spyware that then will be used for data harvesting. Typically you run local LLMs to avoid this exact purpose / risk. So MS isn't even willing to give you the performance benefit of running the LLM on their servers for doing this.
I'd give it a year at most till this comes to desktops.
The same could be said about Windows 11 since it demands a TPM chip. Not that I'm complaining, since all I had to do was disable the chip to keep 11 away for good.
