I really think so. As we get closer to WWDC, I think about this more.

With Apple making a big push into AI this year, I think that more advanced AI features in macOS could require the faster neural engines and bfloat16 support of the M2 series and up. Thus, the M1 series of chips could miss out on the more advanced features.

What do you think? Also, in iOS A14 is the minimum that supports most functions, so I imagine next year that's going to move to the A15. Maybe it will be the same for the mac?

The only AI feature on macOS I want is the one where I can type (or say):

"Disable all UI animations and convulsions - and I mean ALL of them, including the ones that cannot be disabled even via obscure command line commands"

and this would do just that.

Will the new super-ultra-fast AI neural engines and bloat16 support allow this task?
