You're right, it should be a more distro-level effort in userspace. Definitely leave the kernel alone (for the most part).
The point is, some level of AI will be needed for the Linux Desktop to make it more accessible for the next few billion users.
As beautiful as it is for humans to interface with the computer through a terminal, it can easily be as confusing and tedious.
Harnessing the power of some of the best FOSS software systems in the world should not be limited to people who are willing to master it.

The system is fairly standardized, there's no real "cracks" for AI to fill-in. As a sysadmin myself, I'd argue AI presents more risks than rewards (even for inexperienced users). The opportunity to damage your system is far too high for a clueless user, it's arguably more important to build powerful and simple abstractions instead.
