You can't just mention AI in a device description and expect people to buy it in flocks.
But you can, look at Nvidia
To be fair, their stuff actually works.
Ehhhh… Nvidia stumbled upon the fact that their specialized silicon does very well with AI tasks. And yes, their software stack is leagues ahead of anyone else. But they are completely riding the “AI” buzzword popularity wave, and their overinflated stock price is evidence of that. This is just my honest opinion, having no background in any of this, just a casual dabbler and tech enthusiast.
My favorite was their calling their shield upscaling algorithm "AI". It's a fixed non-dynamic algorithm like any other, but they did use AI to make rapid iterative improvements during the development of the algorithm.
Current ~~LLMs~~ agi are no where near what a definition of “AI” is, yet all are being market as “AI”. It is just a buzzword. Like “synergy” and “cloud”. It has lost its meaning.
edit: confuzzled my buzzwords
Do you mean agi? Llm is a textbook definition of AI in computer science
Yes, thank you. I don’t do buzzwords well
Yes you can, when it works.
