Tbh this is probably for things like DLSS, captions, etc. Not necessarily for chatbots or generative art.

Unless you're doing music or graphics design there's no usecase. And if you do, you probably have high end GPU anyway
I could see use for local text gen, but that apparently eats quite a bit more than what desktop PCs could offer if you want to have some actually good results & speed. Generally though, I'd rather want separate extension cards for this. Making it part of other processors is just going to increase their price, even for those who have no use for it.
There are local models for text gen - not as good as chatGPT but at the same time they're uncensored - so it may or may not be useful
Yes, I know - that's my point. But you need the necessary hardware to run those models in a performative way. Waiting a minute to produce some vaguely relevant gibberish is not going to be of much use. You could also use generative text for other applications, such as video game NPCs, especially all those otherwise useless drones you see in a lot of open world titles could gain a lot of depth.
The only reason I have any enthusiasm about CoPilot+ PCs (AI PCs or whatever new name they get in 6 months) is because of ARM and battery life.
Heck, I'll trade them all the AI features for no ads.
