I really don't see how an AI app is any different than the Google app. Any app which allows access to "search what cannot be known ahead of time" is by nature risky. Seems like an overreaction just because of the amount of attention ChatGPT in particular has received recently. Are they really so dumb as to think kids wouldn't just use Safari instead to access the web version of similar tools? I just don't get the obsession with restricting apps like this.

If it can't be unplugged without losing a ton of performance and having shit battery life then what use is it as a laptop? It's basically just a slightly portable desktop but you're still tied to a wall outlet or else your performance advantage goes to the crapper. This is why these comparisons are useless. Apple could easily do the same thing and push tons of wattage through their SoC's but that's not the point of what Apple is doing with Apple Silicon. Apple Silicon is very impressive for what it does performance wise and still retains amazing battery life. 

A better comparison would be to unplug both and run them side by side on battery and then see what performance gains the i-9 13980HX has and how long the battery lasts. Then you'll see the true winner in this comparison.
