"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.

When it comes to whether people will switch I think sentiment is more towards diy PC gamers who are used to putting together and upgrading their systems and doing a fresh install.
When it comes to the general consumer i expect them to have the tech literacy of boomers when it comes to a PC.
This is actually a really good point: Having your target audience be people who don't care is really unstable
Others will do whatever gamers do because only PC builders can build PCs.
Not all gamers can even do something as simple as installing Windows off a usb stick. The tech illiteracy of PC users can't be overestimated. There's PC users who buy high refesh rate monitors then use them at 60 hz. Anyone can buy a prebuilt.
