Have your eyeballs been so scorched that you missed all the care they took to say that this stuff was optional and would only be showing up for people who enabled these things?

AI has so many practical uses and benefits for self-hosted applications - voice assistants for Home Assistant, person detection in Immich, object detection in Frigate, etc.

I'm sorry you have such a narrow view of this technology.

You haven’t been paying attention if you’re surprised Home Assistant is focusing on AI. Paulus himself is an advocate for AI in the home and I know at least a few of the devs work with AI plenty.
