Maybe it’s cause people don’t want a fucking AI PC
Idk about you guys, but I don’t want a computer that does what it thinks I want it to do. I want a computer that does exactly what I tell it to do, and keeps no records. I especially don’t want a computer that tracks every little thing I type or look up, and then sells all of that information to the police, my government, my insurance companies, and a thousand other entities that will all use it against my best interest. You could give me one of these things for free and I still wouldn’t use it.
“It is early days for the next-generation AI PCs or Copilot+ PCs, and adoption rates are still trailing initial projections,” said Pygott.
“Vendors are pushing AI PCs with a premium. Businesses want to move to AI PCs but are waiting for an AI platform that will provide the most future-proofing. CoPilot+ PCs and Recall are further confusing the matter,” Gartner research director Ranjit Atwal told us in November.
“Something will have to give in 2025, and I think it’s AI pricing.”
At least there may be some benefit from all this “AI PC” marketing.
