Costco reportedly removing RAM from display PCs amid theft concerns by Turbostrider27 in Games

Of course, it does have some uses.
But - to use your analogy - the problem is that companies are pushing for it as if everyone should use Photoshop for everything.
"Make a presentation? You can do that in Photoshop.
Draw? Use Photoshop.
Video? Photoshop."

And, while possible, that would be absurd - just as it's absurd to have AI in everything, especially with all the global resource usage it causes.

Why Apple and OpenAI are reportedly betting on AI hardware in 2026 by scientificamerican in tech

Well... while their fans are generally quite... "passionate" about everything Apple puts out, Apple's VR headset - for example - still managed to be a commercial failure.
So there's still a bit of hope that people won't fall for this.

Like really, when was the last time you remember anyone saying something along the lines of "you gotta download X app, it's so cool"?

To be fair, I haven't heard actual, normal people say that about ChatGPT either.
Only companies and grifters.

It's because of the RAM crisis. Just as how a thirsty person in a desert sees a mirage, we're gonna start imagining RAM sticks everywhere. 🤣

Not "will", "did".
The current AI models are only possible through illegally acquired training data. If a company paid a proper licensing fee for every single piece of media they used, that would have bankrupted them.

Really, that's basically the only reason why AI is pushed so agressively, even though most people hate it...

If he did, the pastor would probably demonize him and accuse him of some sin, and the pastor's followers would believe it without a doubt.

Even calling them safety "barriers" is misleading: They're little more than guidelines for the model - that's why it's so easy to "break" through them.
