I am generally unwilling to pay extra for features I don’t need and didn’t ask for.

raytracing is something I’d pay for even if unasked, assuming they meaningfully impact the quality and dont demand outlandish prices.
And they’d need to put it in unasked and cooperate with devs else it won’t catch on quickly enough.
Remember Nvidia Ansel?

A big letdown for me is, except with some rare cases, those extra AI features useless outside of AI. Some NPUs are straight out DSPs, they could easily run OpenCL code, others are either designed to not be able to handle any normal floating point numbers but only ones designed for machine learning, or CPU extensions that are just even bigger vector multipliers for select datatypes (AMX).

Who in the heck are the 16%

Honytawk ,
  • The ones who have investments in AI
  • The ones who listen to the marketing
  • The ones who are big Weird Al fans
  • The ones who didn’t understand the question

I would pay for Weird-Al enhanced PC hardware.

Those Weird Al fans will be very disappointed

Maybe people doing AI development who want the option of running local models.

But baking AI into all hardware is dumb. Very few want it. saas AI is a thing. To the degree saas AI doesn’t offer the privacy of local AI, networked local AI on devices you don’t fully control offers even less. So it makes no sense for people who value convenience. It offers no value for people who want privacy. It only offers value to people doing software development who need more playground options, and I can go buy a graphics card myself thank you very much.

I’m interested in hardware that can better run local models. Right now the best bet is a GPU, but I’d be interested in a laptop with dedicated chips for AI that would work with pytorch. I’m a novice but I know it takes forever on my current laptop.

Not interested in running copilot better though.

I would if the hardware was powerful enough to do interesting or useful things, and there was software that did interesting or useful things. Like, I’d rather run an AI model to remove backgrounds from images or upscale locally, than to send images to Adobe servers (this is just an example, I don’t use Adobe products and don’t know if this is what Adobe does). I’d also rather do OCR locally and quickly than send it to a server. Same with translations. There are a lot of use-cases for “AI” models.

Okay, but here me out. What if the OS got way worse, and then I told you that paying me for the AI feature would restore it to a near-baseline level of original performance? What then, eh?

One word. Linux.

I already moved to Linux. Windows is basically doing this already.

I’m willing to pay extra for software that isn’t

Phegan ,

Poll shows 84% of PC users are suckers.

Rin ,

You like having to pay more for AI?

TopRamenBinLaden ,

I feel like the sarcasm was pretty obvious in that comment, but maybe I’m missing something.

KomfortablesKissen ,

The other 16% do not know what AI is or try to sell it. A combination of both is possible. And likely.

CaptKoala ,

Predictable outcome, common tech company L.

Bro, just add it to the pile of rubbish over there next to the 3D movies and curved TVs
