My guess is that with AI supporting chips with NPUs (neural processing units) produced by AMD and Intel programmer-developers writing code for open source operating systems will adapt free AI systems like Deep Seek for users.
Installing AIs to help users modify programs in terminal will make open source operating systems much easier to use and change for non-programmers unfamiliar with operating systems. Yet the natural application also contains the open door of the danger of letting AI change code itself. A philosophical problem not of ethics. Rather it is one of a pragmatic criterion of immediate value and utility versus long run risk. It’s easy to guess which direction at the fork in the road people will go.
