"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Can anyone explain what an AI PC is? How is it different from a regular PC? Are you running a model locally or something?
AI computers have a NPU chip in them. These ones do too, the article seems to be mostly about how they're not marketing AI heavily because people really don't care about AI.
To the extent people actually might like AI, they exclusively think about remote executed stuff. They don't care about on device stuff.
But for the rest, it is worse than not caring, many people hate it. It's a toxic brand for those.
Which is weird to me because the only time I ever actually got to utilize NPUs was for local running stuff like tensorflow or pytorch.
Only other space I've seen them utilized is mobile devices for image enhancements, etc. On a laptop, not so much.
I don't blame you for staying away from CoPilot.
