The other 16% do not know what AI is or try to sell it. A combination of both is possible. And likely.

As with any proprietary hardware on a GPU it all comes down to third party software support and classically if the market isn't there then it's not supported.

Assuming theres no catch-on after 3-4 cycles I'd say the tech is either not mature enough, too expensive with too little results or (as you said) theres generally no interest in that.

Maybe it needs a bit of marturing and a re-introduction at a later point.

Bro, just add it to the pile of rubbish over there next to the 3D movies and curved TVs

Tbh this is probably for things like DLSS, captions, etc. Not necessarily for chatbots or generative art.

Just need the right name for it. Soundblasters are still being produced aren't they? There's always a market.

Well yeah, because dedicated DACs have a tangible benefit of better audio. If you want better audio you need to buy a quality DAC and quality cans.

I also used to think it's dumb because who cares as long as you can hear. But then I built a new PC and I don't know if it was a faulty mobo or just unlucky setup but the internal DAC started picking up static. So I got an external DAC and what I noticed was that the audio sounded clearer and I could hear things in the sound that I couldn't hear before. It was magical, it's like someone added new layers into my favorite songs. I had taken the audio crack.

I pretty quickly gave away my DAC along with my audio technicas because I could feel the urge. I needed another hit. I needed more. I got this knawing itch and I knew I had to get out before the addiction completely took over. Now I live in static because I do not dare to touch the sun again.

Soundblasters may be shit but the hardware they're supposed to sell is legit, it has a tangible benefit to whomever can tell the difference. But with AI, what is the tangible benefit that you couldn't get by getting a better GPU?
