Whomp-whomp: AI PCs make users less productive
(www.theregister.com)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Count me, someone enthusiastic enough about technology to be discussing it on a niche online community, as part of that 86%. Since when is an "AI PC" a thing? What does it even mean, that they've pre-installed a chatbot?
Basically yes, a chatbot and the ability to do simple actions (agents). So in their fantasy universe, instead of clicking on Firefox and typing a query in the search bar, you'd ask the desktop to search for something, and it would do those steps.
That's all just an excuse though, to explain why they need to collect all your local data. :P
