With modern CPU's supposedly shipping with 'AI cores': How long do you think it will take for a proper opensource, privacy respecting productivity tools(Something like whatever M$ copilot is supposed to be?) to be available?

Personally, i would love to see something like 'Passive' OCR integrated with the display server: the ability to pause any video and just select whatever text(even handwritten) there is naturally like it was a text document without any additional hassle will be really useful
Also useful in circumventing any blocks certain websites put on articles to prevent text from being copied

Or an AI grammar checker running natively for LibreOffice.

What are some AI tools you think should be developed for desktop Linux?

you don’t even need to wait for “AI” chips, “just” a high-end GPU will do

Not everyone wants or can afford an expensive GPU, meanwhile the new AMD 8000G series looks highly compelling and I was just curious whether there are any roadmaps to productively incorporate their use on the Linux desktop in a similar way to what M$ is pushing with co-pilot(Obviously without the corporate surveillance)

If your Cool AI tool requires me to always connect to the internet and agree to a concerning EULA and privacy policies; i think i can live without it

If I were AMD or Intel I'd absolutely reserve the fancy new buzzword tech for only the highest spec cpus in order to give people a reason to overspend.

I expect only decently high end cpus would have this fancy "AI" tech.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
