People want to host their own AI and it will become good enough so most will do that instead of paying for a subscription.

Voice-only input to a cloud model with just a screen to show you what it's doing sounds like a nightmare. Why not subscribe for the TV hardware as well as the subscription, take it up a notch on the own-nothing.

You are talking about maybe 0.005% of the whole population of the earth when you say the phrase "self hosting".

My wife is part of the other 99% and she's already talking to a chat prompt for 90% of her computing needs. The fancy laptop we bought her a year ago sits collecting dust. She is Apple's target market - not the nerds that get a boner about "self-hosting".
