I don't disagree, but from what I see, it could be executed faster with just a good database query. It's not clear what is AI about this, or what benefit AI actually gives it as a tool.


I don't understand your favor for a database query. What database, who's querying it, and why would that be better than a UI? Ain't nobody opting for database queries as their go-to interface for anything, and it would be silly to recommend anyone use sql to build their pc. The benefit the tool provides is not having to interact with a database.


Sorry, I probably wasn't clear on my point. What I was trying to convey is that whatever the ai model is doing behind the scenes doesn't appear to be any more powerful than having a set of pre-built machine specs in a database and querying them for price and type. I'm sure there is more at work here in reality, but since it takes a few minutes for the ai to build a machine from 2 parameters, it seems silly that you need ai for this at all.

Now, there are ways to make the ai more useful, and that would be to have a conversation with it about what you want to do on the computer. Then that makes the ai use apparent and reasonable.


Ah I see, so like Rock Auto vs ChatGPT
