Machine learning in the os is a great value add for medium to large companies as it will allow them to track real productivity of office workers and easily replace them. Say goodbye to middle management.

I think it could definitely automate some roles where you aren’t necessarily thinking and all decisions are made based on information internally available to the PC.

If anything I think this feature is used to spy on users at work and see when keystrokes fall below a certain level each day, but I’m sure that’s already possible for companies to do (but they just don’t).
