If this is really what they are trying to do I hope they succeed.  Just
so long as they don't switch over to the Chinese DeepSeek AI which
blatantly tells users all their personal information is going to the
Chinese government.

 Unfortunately, Apple merely copies innovation & remarkets it at huge prices
sustained by (admittedly brilliant) slick advertising for the hoi polloi.
 However...
Like you, I also hope that Apple succeeds in copying the existing AI
innovation to the point that it's a worthy competitor, just like Apple
Maps. The more competition, the better, as I end up getting better stuff.
 The good news is Apple makes so much profit off it's product line that it
can afford the immense outlay in costs to catch up (even though by
virtually all accounts, Apple is two years behind Google in AI technology).
 Notice though, that Apple is behind others in almost all high technology.
For example, how many years behind Qualcomm is Apple in 5G integration?
 I get it that the Apple trolls hate all Apple can do is copy high tech,
much like China does, and then Apple resells those copies at huge profits.
 But if the Apple trolls want to dispute that - all they'd need to do is
tell us what high technology Apple leads in (and no, Emojiis don't count).
 Neither does Apple's fantastic ability to name all those bold new colors!
What high tech is Apple actually good at?
 Note: I'm sure the Apple trolls will mention CPUs, but it turns out Apple
is no good at CPU development (and Apple even stopped making GPUs). The
reason Apple makes their own iPhone CPU is for purely marketing reasons.
 

For a company "no good at CPU development" they sure get a lot of praise from people who actually know about computer technology.
Four of Apple's in the top ten spots—including 3rd place:

There are other references if that one won't suit you.
And to really demonstrate your ignorance, every Apple SoC system since the A11 Bionic was released in September 2017 has had an Apple-designed GPU.
'A11 Bionic also integrates an Apple-designed GPU with a three-core design that delivers up to 30 percent faster graphics performance than the previous generation.'
