Only if you ignore the unsolved and persistent MAJOR, high risk,problem: It doesn't actually work. No AI model is accurate enough to avoid disaster: there will be countless stories of AI telling your boss something you didn't want said, or making purchases you didn't want, telling you to add glue to pasta sauce. These problems aren't going away, and the only way to stop such risks is to make AI a less useful assistant, which is what a standard computer is.
AI assistant will be a short lived gimmick, in the sense that if you don't mind it being completely inaccurate for all the integrated tasks you give it, then it will SORT OF work. But when it makes mistakes, it will move beyond just annoying (like when alexa doesn't understand your words) to destructive and catastrophic. Apple doesn't want to use its own AI because it doesn't want that responisibility. It informs you that you are using OpenAI. Because its an unreliable toy.
