Bucha Bull to me.

    Why should I? Actually, after reading the article, not just the headline, it left me rather worried. All available resources are being pumped into “AI” now, for the convenience of chatting with ChatGPT about everyday stuff, for creating Grok bikini deepfakes or Copilot MS Paint memeslop.

    With the effect of computer hardware, like CPU/GPU, RAM and SSDs becoming unaffordable for normal users (and thus normal PCs which need those components), some day users might have no other choice than owning just a “stupid” rig of mouse, keyboard and screen with all computing happening in some “AI cloud”.

    Sounds to me like some top-level enshittification!
