    “AI PCs bring three clear benefits over traditional PCs,” he said. Lores said latency, the lower cost of running AI locally instead of in the cloud, and not needing to upload data to the cloud are all strong lures for CIOs.

    This answers jack shit of why the fuck people want AI at all.

      True, these sound like the tech execs say when attempting to create the illusion of value, not actually useful innovation.

      I want a working search engine. I want something to review my writing and suggest changes. I want high quality noise cancellation and background removal. I want high quality speech to text and text to speech.

      These are the things I want from AI I don’t really want something training my every want and whim to provide me better ads. But the stuff I listed in the first paragraph here is really advantageous to most people I believe.

        It’s funny how you can just find a relatable example like that, while all these billion dollar companies which are used to pulling shit out of their asses can’t find anything they really sellable.

          Windows does advertise this feature, though. It’s the only thing that would make me even want an AI laptop.

        I’ve had that locally on my pixel 4 for years (without any Ai). Works in any app on any video without internet connection

          The Pixel 4 has a Snapdragon 855 which does have a neural engine, which is similar to the AI engine used in AI laptops, so you’re just completely wrong there.
