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.

Show me a practical use for AI and I'll show you the money. Genmoji ain't it.

Give me a virtual assistant that actually functions and I will give you A LOT of money...

I use a llm fine tuned on medical stuff for minor medical questions or to prep for medical appointments (getting on the same page as the doc can save some serious time, say the wrong thing and they'll get hung up on it for a year lol).

I really want to combine it something like fasten health so I can go over my medical data on my own machines faster. Pipe dream rn because getting that data from the docs is a pain in the dick, but still would be cool to me.
