They want tools that do things and toys that are fun. So maybe. It depends on what Apple will use it for. I enjoy being able to search my photos even though I never tagged them. That’s a useful kind of AI. I like how I can automatically select the subject of a photo so I can place it on other backgrounds also.
Do the majority of users really want AI in their computers?
What this could mean is the ability to replace (or upgrade) something like Siri into a model that runs locally on your machine. This means that it wouldn’t need to route your questions/requests through someone else’s computer (the cloud). You wouldn’t even need to connect the computer to the internet and you would still be able to work with that model.
Besides, there are many companies that don’t want you to pass on their internal documents to companies like OpenAI (ChatGPT). With locally run models, there aren’t any problems with this as that data will not be uploaded anywhere.

Doesn’t matter what customers want, it’s the shareholders.
