Eh, there's all kinds of automatic user bahviour predicting that's quite useful without "AI" that could be even better. For example, when I am by the local supermarket and pull up my phone and search for apps it "knows" where I am and suggests parking fee app (which I'm about to use). I can imagine this could be expanded in some unexpected ways with correlations derived from machine learning models.

It could be, but let me tell you this is absolutely the last thing I want. I want my device to do what I tell it to, nothing more and nothing less. If I want the computer to suggest me something, I damn well want to ask it first and I don't need it gathering up all my usage behavior prior to then.

No. Just, no.

I wouldn't mind the predictive stuff tbh, if it had been developed as a product.
