If that means an AI-assistant of sorts (like "that OS name that cannot be spoketh") I'm game.
Will that make some users freak out and make it sound like its doomsday, even if they implement a on/off toggle to the AI assistant? Probably.
An AI assistant has nothing to do with the kernel and will never be in it.
It's something for user space and can be done already. This is for the distro maintainers to decide.
The Linux Foundation and Kernel devs don't really deal with the OS layer much. This is something that would need to be implemented at the desktop environment level; like GNOME or KDE. Neither LF nor Linus Torvalds has any say over that.
