I do want a good file system embedding plugin for semantic search, image categorization and content recognition, better OCR, etc. I can run all those locally for less energy than playing a video game and wasting zero water, but a good OS integration would be game changer.
There are definitely things to say against AI, but the anti-AI crowd can sometimes be incredibly short sighted and assholishly militant.
Right?! Those are all more mature technologies that have immediate use.
MCP servers for the underlying OS is a stretch further towards “ok but why?”.
Getting specifically LLMs to run in fedora? Sure someone could do that but it’s not a desktop thing to me and the space is in so much constant flux that creating a “standard” way is an effort in futility.
But yeah seeing something like immich’s search features being brought OS level would be awesome.
OCR and TTS both are kind of neglected accibility features that really could use some love imho too

I’d both-sides this except that one side has to constantly fix the other side’s mass-produced garbage-on-demand while their management continues to shrink the resources and time available to do both that and their own job.
Sure, you can responsibly use AI, and creating an environment for that would generally be a good thing. That ignores the reality of the world we live in though, and it’s easy to understand why people are exhausted over the artificial hype and want their spaces to remain untainted by it.
Part of the point is all about how a healthy community discusses and decides upon proposals. This effort to ram a deeply disdained, extractive capitalist creation into a Fedora Atomic Desktop version that basically violated some ethical choices that Fedora makes…Is part of the reason why it thankfully failed. It didn’t help that the people who held the vote actively avoided having a discussion involving the community, that is a Microslop tactic. Not an open source project’s tactic, it tells me a lot about the ethical soundness of what they were trying to accomplish. A healthy community is so much better than what AI Chuds want, always.
There are always other places the AI Chuds could go anyway, like Ubuntu or whatever cesspool infected itself with slop.
If you don’t want the AI features don’t use them

your last sentence is willfully ignoring the systematic horrors of AI that can only be properly fought by making AI as a whole socially unacceptable.
