What does AI-booted mean? The boot process is deterministic. Why does it need AI?

I don't want my bootloader to be creative or generate novel outputs. I want it to boot quickly, reliably, and the same way every time unless I change something I probably wasn't supposed to.

What part of that could AI even be conceivably inserted into?

"Initializing gobbledygook— not just a process, but a the first of many processes which will activate in sequence to bring your computer from powered-down to ready-to-use! Beep boop."

    What, don't you want a boot process that offers a different surprise every day?

    What you don't understand is they paid a lot of money to develop AI so they're damn well going to use it for everything.

    They gotta convince the shareholders that investing so much in AI wasn't a completely idiotic idea. Especially when the majority of those investments are going to LLMs and other genAI, when the most tangible benefits will come from machine learning's effects on R&D and data analysis...
