I get your point, AI is useful for some people, but what about the rest of us who don't want it or use it? I genuinely use the menu key and would prefer to keep it functioning as it does and now I'm going to be forced to lose that key and now I have to deal with AI? It has no use for me. I also don't want something actively watching and "thinking" about what I'm doing. I want my computer somewhat dumb and to only do what I tell it to. If you want a keyboard with a dedicated AI button, get one with a macro pad or something. Don't inconvenience the rest of us by forcing a nonsensical change
