Maybe Nvidia knows something we don't. Are their any examples of using ai to help code? What is Nvidia specifically referencing to making them say this? I ask these questions because obviously something they are seeing is making them say this. yet, all I see from ai in general are things like.
Image generation, story generation, some ai can even roleplay a specific story with you that you inputed, but I just can't see ai doing actual coding, without over simplifying it and making it boring and less different from the next 'creation.'
LLM tools can already write basic code and will likely improve a lot, but there are more reasons to learn to code than to actually do coding yourself. Even just to be able to understand and verify the shit the AI tools spit out before pushing it live.
Nvidia knows that the more people who use AI tools, the more their hardware sells. They benefit directly from people not being able to code themselves or relying more on AI tools.
They want their magic line to keep going up. That’s all.
How does the use of ai tools specifically sell Nvidia hardware? it could help sell other hardware as well. They don't specify any specific ai software that might be exclusive to Nvidia hardware or anything like that. That at the surface doesn't make much sense to me.
LLMs do most of their processing on GPUs using platforms like CUDA, which is an Nvidia product. Nvidia stands to make a lot of money off of CUDA and ML hardware.
