This dramatic shift will be driven by the convergence of several key factors: the proliferation of Neural Processing Units (NPUs) across different price tiers, the mainstream adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) for everyday computing tasks, and the strategic launch of Microsoft's Windows 12 in 2H 2025.

I don't really doubt that this could happen.

I mean, it doesn't mean people will use it in the manner that we think - not everyone is going to be running LLMs on their laptops on a daily basis. But like Apple, I think it's at 100% across the board in it's products for AI accelerators, and as been for many years now. It's been used for biometrics and stuff for some time now.
 
It's not whether it can have practical uses, but that the term AI has negative connotations. I doubt many people would willingly buy an "AI PC" unless it is forced upon them.

I can see it existing like physx, nobody giving any mind to it. I don't think of my PC as a physx PC, despite it having the capability to run physx.
 
Well, I seem to remember that at some point by the end 2025, some consumers won't have a choice. I could be wrong but I thought we had a story a few months back stating laptops/notebooks/etc would all feature AI/NPU CPUs by (edited: forgot we're in 2025) this year's end. I have a feeling the same will happen with OEM desktops as well plus a good measure of PC enthusiasts pre-builts since marketing seems to love using AI with everything.

I think that after a time personal builds will end up being the last space where we see minimal AI inclusion and even then I'm not sure for how long.
 
Meh, what does this mean really, Cotana et al shoved everywhere and processors that run a bit faster as you do the same thing over and over, for sure I welcome the latter, dont know about the former, though AI can be useful.
Asking AI to order groceries and turn off the lights is a lot less of an issue than companies using it to review applications and such things, that needs to be outlawed soon, but it wont, and that will be an ever increasing problem for all of us.
 
My fear is using my data to build their models. With crap like recall running on your PC I don't believe we are fully in control anymore of our data. Just like Adobe granted themselves full unrestricted rights to your data in their EULA, MS will do the same. They don't give a frack that it is illegal, they are daring you to sue them.

Ever since Windows 10, I don't feel like I'm the customer, more like me and my data is the product.
 
I think it's kind of funny - our IT dept at work won't let us use Gmail or DropBox or anything because they are worried about data confidentiality and security.

But they outsourced all our email to Microsoft and use the heck out of almost everything in the 365 suite. I have no idea if they allow/disallowed CoPilot AI stuff, haven't looked into it and I don't log into the online portal except when I have to.

Yeah after the umpteenth ransomeware attack, our corporate IT put the smack down on ANY person email / file services. Pretty sure they are all blocked on the firewalls, but that doesn't help when so many are working from home and not always on the vpn. Stupid salespeople.
 
Oh man don't get me started on people using AI then trying to discuss proprietary things and get AI summaries.. GUYS.. STOP IT!!
