Wow! It's almost as if companies have come to the realisation that they can exploit the AI (Artificial Augmentation) hype to squeeze more profits out of regular people.

I'm still using Artificial Augmentation to describe it - when my PC gets off its backside and makes me a cuppa, then I might change my tune. In the meantime, I'm probably going to need some pretty major dental work; stories like these tend to make me grind my teeth.

I'm not convinced the average consumer is going to care about this. Creative professionals/developers for sure, but that's a much smaller percentage of the overall PC sales. As "AI" stands today I don't see where the value add is going to come from for the consumer vs just using a cloud service.

Yeah, this sounds like BS. Every mobile APU will get an NPU, desktop CPUs not long after potentially, and most consumers won't notice. Almost every system with a discrete GPU can also act as an "AI PC".

There is value in doing things locally, as long as it's not eating up an inordinate amount of resources in relation to the value of the task (e.g. RAM, storage needed for a relatively weak LLM to run locally).

i find that hard to believe, its only 3 years. They expect everyone to update their PC in that time? Sure, maybe in businesses but consumers don't update that fast. Most people in fact.

By 2027 I might have a new PC, I haven't really thought about it. I expect by then every cpu will have an npu, whether its useful or not.
