Just read an article on ombubuntu.co.uk called: Ubuntu is Getting AI Features in 2026 – Here's What's Planned
I am starting to feel the line between integrated AI, and non-integrated AI becoming blurred.
Why do these major companies (Canonical, Microsoft, etc.) believe that AI needs to be integrated into the OS?
In Microsoft's case, they are forcing users to deal with CoPilot. It "can" be removed, but it's not as simple as clicking on "Uninstall."
I'd imagine that Canonical will allow it to be "opt-out," as in easily removable... but not 100% sure.
Regardless of the integration... what are the reasons for this? I mean, some of us don't want or need an AI companion in our OS... so why force it?
