It depends on how broad you are with the definition. There are a lot of uses for an NPU that aren't hosting your own chatgpt analog.
list them, as far as I can tell NPUs are shitty cut-down GPUs with a few functions much slower
You are right that they are effectively limited use GPUs, but that doesn't make them useless. That's really the point, I'd agree it is a weird fit for laptops though.
My personal interest is object detection / facial recognition which is a function a lot of AIs have, but you may or may not classify it as 'Generative AI' on it's own.

while the ship has sailed on calling the opencv shit you’re doing AI (thx, grifters of the first AI bubble), which part of object detection and facial recognition is generative?
