Artificial Intelligence, what is it?

Fusion power does not exist as a thing.

It works as a proof of concept. Yes, fusion can be said to work. There are operational proof of concepts.

Quantum computers- they exist as a proof of concept.

Is it a workable device in the same vein as a modern computer today? No. it's barely much faster than some of the leading conventional computers. Hardly a game changer and many orders of magnitude behind where the technology has the potential to be. Just as with fusion.

Quantum computers can perform certain calculations in parallel due to superposition, allowing them to explore multiple possibilities simultaneously.

Classical computers use classical bits (0s and 1s), while quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits, which can represent multiple states at once

Yes, that is true. But the present versions aren't massively more powerful or faster than their top tier contemporaries using conventional technology. They have some very peculiar limitations, also which mean they aren't ready to be deployed as a mass market device. This may also explain why some of the alternatives like parallel processing are being explored instead.

a guy i know of used to dj on a sat night on local radio
called him in a while ago and said
thanks v much,we no longer need you

a computer is now picking and playing the music
on his slot on the radio

an example of ai replacing people

That has been going on for years. DJs in some clubs connect a Macbook to the amplifier and speakers, press play and leave it running for 8 hours no sweat.

Not AI and nothing new.
Software has been scheduling and playing the audio on radio stations for several decades.

I'm not denying it has limitations.
In an earlier post, you stated that quantum systems don't exist. I post pages from IBMs website that prove otherwise.
Now you're just changing the goal posts from they don't exist to they don't work properly.

Anyway, SSD on a GPU, something Nvidia have been looking at for a while. A GPU is much more efficient if it can access storage without going via the CPU. Speeds things up considerably. The idea is to give the GPU it's own storage to make the GPU perform faster. The GPU can also use the SSD as extra VRAM, like Windows does with a swap file.
It's not something that will really benefit most users such as gamers and content creators. As GPUs get used for more computational work such as working with large data sets, analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-performance computing, the direct access to SSD is a way to increase GPU performance, but not so much on graphics work.

if you have a windows 10 or 11 pc with a new ish Nvidia GPU then they already can use the M.2 drive directly, and reduce the CPU bottleneck, not many games take advantage yet, buy the new games consoles already do.
The next generation IBM chips under delelopment make the fastest Nvidea GPU look like a power hungry tortoise.

The reality is you will not see this anytime soon in any computer but they are going to come out at some point and things never stand still. The power efficiency of these even now, not at the cutting edge of size that delivers even more power efficiency, will lead to new low power chips over the coming decades.

Given enough time and human input, the software drawing those pictures could become clever enough to produce amazing works of art or even photo-like images you could not tell were digitally rendered.

But that just means it is a very complex piece of software. It's not an artificial intelligence. It didn't learn to do it itself. It was programmed to do it.

A computer program, if powerful enough, could drive a formula 1 car around any race track faster and more reliably than any human. But it would still need to be programmed to do it.

A true artificial intelligence would drive the car around the track, learning from every lap. Just as a human does. But because computers can scale, in theory an AI would be able to learn a lot faster than a human.

AI, as it stands just isn't there yet.

Yeah, AI is a complex programmed software. If I am not mistaken nowadays AI can fly drones to keep an eye on crop health, tell tractors where to go without a driver, and give tips on how to use less water and resources while still growing loads of food.

Who needs Humans depleting resources??
