I'm not sure that this meme is using "offline" correctly. I use AI offline, which means I absolutely do know that it's not going to "go away." It's running on my computer, it's stored on my hard drive. Ten years from now I will still be able to run it regardless of what's happened in the outside world. I welcome offline AI integration into software, that's the best way to do it when possible.

    You can do that, and I can do that. Companies don't want to provide that, because there's value to having you feed their data. That means there's no incentive for them to make it easy for people to run local models.

    So sure, it can technically exist, but not as a mass market tool.

    Fortunately FOSS software is often not beholden to companies or profit motives like that, and that's specifically what this meme is about.
