The thought expressed in the title came to my mind when I saw Nvidia described as an "AI company" in the press recently...

This is awesome. It also brought back some anxiety from >10 years ago in college that reminds me that computer graphics and my brain do not agree whatsoever.

Do most GPUs made for AI even have a graphical output buffer and a video output any more?

Holy tangents, Batman! This whole post was a million interrelated topics woven into one semi-coherent textbook.

Room for new competitors then? Surely Nvidia/AMD/Intel are not the only graphics vendors? Or is the tech too hard to even enter the market?

Then who actually delivers on that front aside from AMD? Intel does deliver but only on the low to mid range.

I wonder if they'll ever start doing the graphics with AI.
Could you render the scene in the simplest most efficient way possible, then train a special model that takes that picture, along with the coordinates of lights, depth maps, text descriptions of materials, etc, and adds detail?

Naming may provide useful hints about some utility of a tool but naming does not bound the utility of a tool.

They used to refer to it as GPGPU (general purpose) but they just shortened it maybe 10 years ago?

What does Bechara means?
DuckDuckGo doesn't help me much. "Poor thing" maybe?
Anyway, I think you should change friends. Or study subjects. Either way.
Btw, these look like parasites or worms under microscope.

Should change the name to Matrix Processing Units

Nice texture generator came out of this, with seems to be perfectly looped images! Well done!

These friends don't get it!

I read somewhere that CPUs are better at generating graphics than GPUs (although I imagine much slower). Is that true? Does that explain why GUI libraries like Egui are so much uglier than, for example, Iced?

Since when a name dictates function?

The G now stands for GenAI.
