Partly true. Somebody talked about the idea of KDE Plasma becoming an "AI-native" desktop at Akademy (the KDE conference), and the discussion (which, as far as I'm aware, was all it was. I'm pretty sure it was just some guy, not the KDE team), and the media overblew it with headlines like "KDE Plasma becoming an AI-native desktop???"

There are good reasons to dislike KDE Plasma, but I don't think this is one of them. If you prefer GNOME because you prefer how it looks, that's cool too! And again, it's made by developers who do it at no cost to us, and the fact that Plasma is so good (as is GNOME, Cinnamon, etc.) is awesome

edit: The people who talked about Plasma as an "AI native" desktop in Akademy used to be KDE developers but are no longer active contributors. It was not the KDE team saying "this is what we will do in the future". There's a good video about it by Nicco (a KDE dev who makes videos regarding Linux and other bits) if you want to learn more: https://tube.kockatoo.org/videos/watch/b97487b5-b544-4652-8548-c0a732f87f45
