While the author's prediction may or may not come true, this text has a weird conspiracy vibe in my opinion. Especially parts trying to imply that by some mysterious way NN are trained on GPUs and manufacturers are pushing AI to sell more cards, not unlike the rush to get GPUs for crypto. It's almost as if GPUs have been specifically built to handle massive parallelism with specialized models offering machine learning optimizations! However, the cards used for these vocations are different: while you used to be able to mine cryptocurrencies with consumer GPUs, training AI models is done on professional hardware with more emphasis on VRAM. Training something serious like ChatGPT is far from easy (if at all possible) for a startup. And AI projects have arguably become more useful to the everyday consumer than crypto currency ever was. Either way, AI is certainly a huge buzzword, but for now, it's living up to the hype. Who knows what'll happen three years into the future.
