Microsoft OS workload on an AI-optimized chip:

(5%) consumer benefit - users can get access to Clippy+ with a Microsoft premium account subscription, that if users aren't subscribed, they're reminded every time they go into the settings application

(15%) anti-piracy & copyright protection

(70%) harvesting and categorizing all user activities, for indiscriminate internal use, sale to other companies, and delivery to governments

(10%) Uninstallable OEM bloatware that does the same, but with easily exploited security flaws that are never effectively patched

Oh god the using AI/neural nets for anti-piracy stuff hadn't even occurred to me but it's absolutely something that will happen...
