> If you are a consumer and you have a Mac or an iPhone, what do you need from AI that Apple's new offering won't provide

Honestly, I don't think I need anything from AI at all. It's a convenience but it doesn't really enable anything I wasn't doing before. That's probably their biggest problem. The biggest thing is it enables non-coders to write code, but it's very debatable that that's a good thing excluding personal projects

They were not asking for your individual opinion. They were asking why any given person would need it.

It turns out I am any given person

Yep... I've met him and I can confirm that he is in fact, any given person. To that, I might add that I'm in the same situation. AI is a convenience and light entertainment, and as such, I'm willing and ready to pay exactly 0 USD for it privately and in my business. If the price rises beyond this point, they for sure have to move it from convenience to essential and so far, I have not seen any shadow of essential.
