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.

AI "enhanced" hardware = slower, bloated, inefficient hardware.

What hardware actually needs an AI? Does my hard drive need its own hard drive and processor to run its AI to do what? So dumb.

And if there are any useful applications, I can probably guarantee it's got nothing to with actual "artificial intelligence".
