The thing LLMs can effectively replace is Google search (and other search engines). Microsoft is shoving copilot down your throat because shoving Bing up your ass was harder when it was already full of other shit.

The only issue here is that there is no really useful ubiquitous feature yet. Once that comes, people will not care about any security issues or any other reason against it. It's coming for sure. Maybe they need recall feature to train right now, maybe they won't anymore at some point.

People expect AI to be default feature. Image search was once what was "AI". Photo recognition was once what was "AI". Voice recognition was once what was "AI". These all fall under the field of AI/ML. It's until the next state of the art comes along. Then it's no longer "AI" but a standard feature.

I have no idea why this phenomenon is but that's the way it's been. When the field of AI/ML makes its leap to the next frontier. The current "AI" which is LLMs will longer be "AI" but a standard feature.

Maybe because fictional media as set the goalpost at AGI. So nobody is expecting to be buying "AI" hardware until they are buying an AGI machine that is a conscious cybernetic lifeform. Otherwise practical AI as we know it is assumed to be just another software package that runs on any computer.
