I had a colleague in work come to me with exactly this, they’d got AI to spec them a PC for their kid to fit a certain budget.
The problem is the AI was using pricing data that was about a year out of date. It also massively over-specced (calling for 64GB of RAM for Roblox!).
The funny part was even when he challenged it back saying he couldn’t find that RAM for anywhere near the price GPT quoted, the AI just argued back saying whatever store it was must be trying to scam him because RAM shouldn’t be that expensive.
Kagi’s AI tends to be a couple months behind where pricing is concerned, but does accept it when I point out how crap things are right now.
However, it insists that the price I want to set on my old gaming rig is unfair. Which…isn’t entirely wrong, if it weren’t for the RAMpocalypse.
I am guesstimating that my old machine is worth around $3800+, and half of that is 128gb of DDR4 3600 RAM, kitted. I am going by Newegg listings, and similar RAM is $100 more before taxes even enter the picture.
