It also can be hit or miss sometimes... but then you can never rely on one thing to be "everything" I think.
Introversion is not a flaw, just as extroversion is not a virtue...
When it comes to introverts arguing on ats/Di/twitter I think about this video a lot:

AI also needs large amounts of memory, so the hardware suppliers are all happy wit promoting AI for everything, so they can sell more.
They are price gouging also
Motherboards used to be 50-120 for a capable board, now they are 200-500.
graphics cards 1000-2000 now from 600-900$ (Look at 1080ti vs 4080 super).
insanity, though video cards are down since crypto slowed for home rigs, to address one counter-argument. I bought prebuilt 2080ti rig a few years ago for the same price as 2080ti alone on Newegg because scalpers were artificially inflating price double or more over manufacture retail. I guess the retailers saw that and said "here is opportunity to double our prices"…
ram and hd are on the normal price/performance trend down though.
