I disagree. Let's take the M1 vs the M5 (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/11/10/apple-silicon-m1-to-m5-...):

  - 6× faster CPU/GPU performance
  - 6× faster AI performance
  - 7.7× faster AI video processing
  - 6.8× faster 3D rendering
  - 2.6× faster gaming performance
  - 2.1× faster code compiling
Over the span of 5 years.

Plus, realistically what makes an "ai" server different from a computer? This "lineage info of the family may be passed down through generations" sounds nice but do you know anyone passing down a Commodore 64 or Apple II that remains in daily use? I fail to see how "ai" would protect something from obsolescence.
