it's going to be awkward in consumer hardware either way if you segregate AI units from the GPU, the thing is both AI and GPUs will continue to need massive amounts of matrix multiplication and as little memory latency as possible the move to have more of it wrapped in the GPU makes sense but at least in the short and medium term, most devices won't be able to justify the gargantuan silicon wafer space/die growth that this would entail - also currently Nvidia's tech is ahead and they don't make state of the art x86 or ARM CPUs for the time being I think the current paradigm makes the most sense, with small compute devices making inroads in the consumer markets as non-generalist computers - note that more AI-oriented pseudo-GPUs already exist and are successful since the earlier Nvidia Tesla lineup and then the so-called "Nvidia Data Center GPUs"
