Not caring about AI is the best thing to do, "oh it has great AI features" pass! "the AI in this product will make your life easier" nah! "with AI you can achieve more" i'm fine with less!
It's like all the 'smart' technology that is mostly just annoying shit that makes everything more complicated than it needs to be.
Problem that too few people see with this "smart tech" is it's designed to make you dumber, the smoother the brain the easier it is to manipulate, "you don't have to think and worry let our AI take over that burden", so on and so forth till we reach Idiocracy.
Just to be clear, I don't think the hardware will be any different. It still has the AI chips included, but they're no longer including that in the marketing.
They have to sell this junk somehow, they are soooo desperate to make this AI bullshit work and they can always sneak it in later in an update.
