Supposedly, according to the Microsoft article, ~~AI PCs~~ CoPilot+ PCs are capable of translating stuff on the fly (which sounds awesome) and generating images, all locally. Allegedly.
I have yet to run into anybody that's actually talked about these so-called innovations though. I have a PC with Windows and the beefy GPU and I would love to get live transcriptions. But the (MS) article doesn't even mention how I would do that...
Even if everything Microsoft promise was true, though, the lines sure are intentionally blurred between what runs locally and what doesn't.
Yes, and they intentionally want those lines to be as blurry as possible.
