Companies are going all-in on artificial intelligence right now, investing millions or even billions into the area while slapping the AI initialism on their products, even when doing so seems strange and pointless.

Heavy investment and increasingly powerful hardware tend to mean more expensive products. To discover if people would be willing to pay extra for hardware with AI capabilities, the question was asked on the TechPowerUp forums.

The results show that over 22,000 people, a massive 84% of the overall vote, said no, they would not pay more. More than 2,200 participants said they didn’t know, while just under 2,000 voters said yes.

    I think it’s coming pretty fast. There’s already a mod for Skyrim that lets you talk to your companion. People are spending hours talking to llms and roleplaying, the first triple A game to incorporate it is going to bee a massive hit imo. I’m actually surprised no one’s been coming out with visual novels using them, it seems like a perfect use case.

    It’s definitely going to be used first for making the content of the game like you said though.
