    Pretty useless statistic since there’s rarely (never?) an option for “AI” when ordering. It’s not like companies are offering their flagship AI machines without AI chips.

    If I had to guess, the AI features were the reason 0% of people purchased said AI PCs

    Ok. So an “AI PC” is a computer with neural network acceleration features in the CPU? Are these features completely useless for non-“AI™” use? (Like I can use my graphics card to search for large prime numbers or Folding@Home or whatever. Are there uses specifically for “AI PCs” other than misinformation generators, plagerism laundering, deepfake porn, etc?)
