Ok. So an “AI PC” is a computer with neural network acceleration features in the CPU? Are these features completely useless for non-“AI™” use? (Like I can use my graphics card to search for large prime numbers or Folding@Home or whatever. Are there uses specifically for “AI PCs” other than misinformation generators and plagerism laundering?)

Pretty useless statistic since there’s rarely (never?) an option for “AI” when ordering. It’s not like companies are offering their flagship AI machines without AI chips.
If I had to guess, the AI features were the reason 0% of people purchased said AI PCs
