Oh, it does. Hallucination is a real problem. But that doesn't mean it can't be useful.

You mean you've never used ChatGPT?

For a tech-enthusiast forum, it's quite surprising to see so many people declaring they don't care much about a new tech development. And I don't mean people saying they don't want to pay more for AI, I mean people saying they don't care about AI on their PCs at all.

There was also STB and S3 before that.

Yes, Nvidia has bundled... Because Nvidia invented RT **double facepalm**

@lilhasselhoffer RT is a bit like electric cars: nicer in the long run, but impossible to switch to right away. Just like an EV is much simpler to build than a traditional ICE car is, working with RT eliminates some of the programming complexity*. This comes at a VRAM and GPU HP cost, but these...

Thank you for proving my point ;) Perhaps "bleeding edge" is too strong a name. But you certainly cannot expect much in the way of 3D from more conservative distros. I mean, it's usable if you only need "light" 3D, but for the likes of Proton and such, you want newer Mesa more often than not...

I believe AI is being included because implementations rely on compute and compute relies on shaders. Kind of hard to put AI on a separate chip or an add-on module.

I mean, if you were paying a bunch of software developers to write software to generate some reports, paying other people to look at the reports looking for some patterns that would result in some business decisions, you can now have a smaller team training a model, the model would look for...

It really depends on what you do with these accelerators. If you can cut 1-2 jobs, you will make the asking price back in under a year. If you cut 0 jobs, but you get one of these doing the same job that was previously done by 2-3 accelerators, you will still make your money back on electricity...

@Evelynn Nice to read your story. Unfortunately, bleeding edge is more or less a must on Linux if you want 3D to work properly. On non-bleeding edge distros, you can only use Nvidia in a trouble-free manner. Intel or AMD use Mesa and you will have to update that yourself on "stable" distros. The...

Spending one's cash as they wish is quite different from what you're implying here. You've probably never had the economics lesson about whether it makes sense or not for Michael Jordan to pay someone $10k to maw his lawn... What look egregious to you, may look like peanuts for someone that...

Today, I would have to say "no". But I would like to remind people that even floating point operations were once offered as an extra add-on at additional cost. Also, I imagine what AI will do 5 years from now will be quite different from the cheap tricks we see today.

How do you call people that call others "idiots" because they spend their money the way they want?

AMD also plays by rules of commerce (unless I missed them turning into a charity). Do you call them names, too?
