I’m sorry, Dave. I can’t do that......................PING!

But will it play DOOM?

If it doesn't play DOOM, it's not a true PC.

I don't want AI at all. When I've asked AI if someone is a retard, it nags at me
saying that is not appropriate question. It truly is 1984 Big Brother.

I’m not seeing any real difference between a normal PC and an AI PC.

So I read the article and still can’t figure out want an “AI PC” does for me that a regular old PC doesn’t do. Near the bottom the author wrote “If you’re someone like Couvert, who does a lot with AI...”

That doesn’t help one bit. WHAT is Couvert doing, exactly?

Uh, nice history.

Where’s the Altair (s/w provided by galactic a**hole Billy Gates and his nice guy buddy Paul Allen), Imsai 8080 (great for blinking lights), and of course, the Apple I, released in summer of ‘76. Eventually outsold all the others.

Trash 80 was actually a great little computer, BTW. People made fun of it, but it ran BOS and could actually DO things.

[nopardons]

And what if someone does NOT want ANY of those things and will NEVER use them?

If someday soon, all computers and laptops will be crammed full of this useless, to some, garbage, then if these are the ONLY way to have a computer/laptop, that person is paying for unwanted and never used functions. WHAT A RIPOFF!

[webheart]

No thanks.

Something here is not adding up. AI needs so much power nuclear power plants will be needed to supply it verses it will soon be on your laptop.

[Scrambler Bob]

However, there are benefits to having an AI do its processing locally, right on your computer.
= = =

Sounds good, so far . . .

But I thought AI searched and analyzed a lot of data to get their analysis.

Is this data supposed to be on my computer? It is pretty vacant right now. Maybe some family photos, screen dumps of engineering constants and conversion tables, ...

I don’t think AI can get very smart from my limited set of data.

What am I missing?

[higgmeister]

This is such a pile of horse apples!

These fools didn't even mention my Texas Instruments TI-99/4a.   The TRS80 was a stupid joke compared to the TI-99/4a and it had the best speech synthesizer up until the present day.

The Osborne was a nothing burger, but it made a good boat anchor.

I already have issues with my Smart TV acting too smart for its own good.   The last thing I want is an AI-PC that thinks it has to police my usage or think for me.

I can see it now, the AI Nanny PC the best thing for the modern-day sheeple.

“All PCs will be AI PCs “pretty soon,”

.

I will be building a 100% Linux PC “pretty soon.”

Windows will only exist in a spellchecker on that box.

Most people will not even use AI if they had it.
