The future of AMD and AI

Is there a line of AMD CPUs which will not include AI components, or is it looking as if every new CPU is going to have AI optimized pipelines?

For several years now, I've been avoiding Intel: AMD seems to have kept an edge in multiprocessing, with more cores and threads per dollar, and I've felt Intel has been mismanaged for over a decade. AMD still feels like an engineering company run by engineers, vs a purely profit motivated company managed by sales and marketing wonks.

So I've been casually browsing around looking for a new laptop, and have noticed that all the AMD based ones are marketed as AI CPUs. I'd much rather have a CPU which doesn't waste silicon on AI customizations, so I'm wondering if AMD is a dead-end for me, or if AMD has a CPU family which doesn't pander to the LLM hype?
