   "Intel admits what we all knew: no one is buying AI PCs"

   People would rather buy older processors that aren't that much less powerful but way cheaper. The "AI" benefits obviously aren't worth paying for.

     @nuintari @tante and it's all driven by fever dream fantasy of trying to recreate the false future from 90s movies and books

     @tante Pay extra money to make it even easier to steal my personal information so you can advertise to me more effectively, for a feature I'll never use that virtually nobody is asking for?

     AI is like blockchain, it's a solution looking for a problem. A lot of the things I see AI being heralded for are problems we solved with "basic" automation and some math 20 years ago for a fraction for a fraction of the cost.

     @tante The thread for the article had several people arguing that all software will soon include AI and people are foolishly rejecting the hardware to support it.

     That utterly misses the point that most people dislike generative AI.

     Personally I feel that the use of generative AI is an atrocity and a deliberate assault on culture and human dignity, and I refuse to use it. I'd quit working in IT if I have to, to get away from it.

     @foolishowl @tante "Personally I feel that the use of generative AI is an atrocity and a deliberate assault on culture and human dignity, and I refuse to use it." Agree 100 percent.
