But so convenient
Artificial intelligence can help in so many areas. Now he can help build a new computer at the same time. More precisely, choose the right accessories.
Major chain Newegg has added a ChatGPT-based plugin to its website to help shoppers build the best PC for a given amount.
In general, AI copes with its task, but still, sometimes there are amusing nuances in its proposals. For example, when the authors of Tom’s Hardware asked a chatbot to build a gaming PC for $1,000, he generally chose the best option:
- Ryzen 5 5600
- MSI PRO B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
- MSI Mech Radeon RX 6700 XT
- G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)
- Team Group MP33 M.2 2280 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4
- Fractal Design Focus G Mini
- CORSAIR CX-M CX750M
- MSI MAG Series CORELIQUID P240 AIO
ChatGPT now helps you find the best PC for the available amount.
True, the final price was more than $ 1,100, but on the whole, the task seemed to be completed. If you don’t look closely and see that the Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card, which is really a great choice for the money, is in this particular case for some reason represented by a $560 model! At the same time, in the same store, such cards usually cost 330-370 dollars. By the way, if you replace the model with another one with a normal price, the PC will just cost a little less than $1,000.
Another similar request led to the creation of a build with Ryzen 7 5700G, 32 GB of RAM and GeForce RTX 4060. That is, the chatbot “spent” more money on the processor and RAM, but because of this, the video card came out noticeably weaker than in the first case.
Be that as it may, in general, AI copes with the task, and this option is suitable for those buyers who do not understand computers at all. Moreover, specifically in this case, it is convenient that the chatbot immediately gives links to all the components that it chooses, so that after the advice of AI, you can immediately place an order.
