Given LLMs prevalence, it looks like a low hanging fruit to incorporate a GPT right into the OS. Windows will probably use Bing, and Apple, well, Apple is being Apple ftm.

I wonder if the OS community has worked on elevating Linux using GPT.

Like in the kernel? Or like it is in the distribution so you have some kind of chatbot accessible through an API?

The latter is more straightforward atm, but imagine the Linux kernel is equipped with GPT. So whenever you run into a problem you can simply ask it for solutions! That would help with the adoption of Linux IMO.

What features are you imagining that would otherwise be impossible in userspace?

Why do you need GPT in the kernel for this? If the relevant data is exposed to userspace, you can use whatever LLM or other tool, local or remote, to consume and interact based on the data, while not putting unnecessary heavyweight features in the kernel.

They are two large, but unrelated projects. Why should they be merged? How would they be merged?

This is like saying: "Pepsi Cola and Ford Motor Company: Any projects trying to merge the two?" I suppose you could merge them by installing cola dispensing fountains into vehicles, but I am not sure how useful it would be.

Try with gabrielerisso/aiyu I'm the creator, it's still very experimental. Before the end of the week it should be fully functional.
