Some more news had the best take on this imo. It's clear: these companies spent the last five+ years pouring billions into AI. And right now, AI isn't up to snuff, it can't do everything that was promised, so now these companies are seeking a return on their investment.

Unfortunately for us, these companies are brands like google, apple, and Microsoft which means that their solution to AI not being a sellable product on its own is that they can shove it into everything they produce without asking the consumer. They now have to figure out how to make money off of it, which is difficult because AI doesn't do anything supremely useful right now. It's writing is passable but amateurish, it's law work has too many flaws for it to replace anyone, it's art skills are 100% clockable and nobody likes them, and it's ability to serve better ads is unproven so far. So we get shit like AI powered laptops that don't sell.
