alt Hacker NewsEarly in the article it explains that these devices already had small neural nets on board. The advancement is that they can now put larger neural nets on board.
The best noise cancellation has to be adaptive. Neural nets help this work well. If making the product work well is "shoving it down your throat" then I don't know what to say.
The public presumably didn't hate the products before this chip and before knowing they had some form of AI on board.

Why? You don't even understand what the AI functionality is for or the fact that it already existed. You just get triggered by reading articles like this?

Because if it this is just adaptive NC using some NN, I still dislike vendors using terms like "AI" to jump on the bandwagon.
And of course because I already have a huge adversion to actual generative AI shoved down my throat in products I use, including macOS/iOS (thankfully lesser), and Windows/Office (much more), and content creation programs.
And don't get me started on generative AI slop shoved down my throat in HN submissions, YouTube, and every major platform, from X to Substack, and even into places it should never have even touched, like Art Technica, which I've been reading for a quarter of a century.
So, yes, excuuuuuuse me, for not liking such announcements, even if they're not about generative AI.
