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.

    there are some local genai music models, although I don’t know how good they are yet as I haven’t tried any myself (stable audio is one, but I’m sure there are others)

    also minor linguistic nitpick but LLM stands for ‘language model’ (you could maybe get away with it for pixart and sd3 as they use t5 for prompt encoding, which is an llm, i’m sure some audio models with lyrics use them too), the term you’re looking for is probably ‘generative’
