“AI” is not a use case for a computer. Plain and simple. A real use case would be for instance to edit videos or code or create spreadsheets, and what the everloving shit does adding ✨Agentic and Conversational AI✨fix with literally any use case?
Sure, researching can be a use case for AI stuff, as well as just talking with it, but there’s no reason to sell an entire fucking class of laptops labeled “AI PCs” when the only thing it has is windows 11 copilot (lobotomised ChatGPT) and an NPU advertised as a “future compatibility” feature…
I use AI quite a bit for when I have to deal with something again that doesn't have a simple documentation or stack overflow / reddit thread, and I know all too well I will never need agentic anything.
The one most useful AI for coding is supermaven, which is literally just auto complete plus but it doesn't just do things, it works like any other tab completion.
Pretty sure no software dev at windows has ever really given these things a proper workout and still found them essential. Windows is really out here advertising Linux.
