You forget all the media stories on the early 2000's about SUV's doing things, like they didn't have a driver.

I tested a 33 minute local audio only file on a M4 Mac Mini with 24GB of Ram and it took 6.75 seconds to transcribe it using this software. Using MacWhisper/Parakeet3 it was about 7.5 secs using a stopwatch.

You can get 30 dozen eggs at Costco business center for under 18 dollars. Is that price fixing? Do with that what you will.

For reference to the current prices of consoles:

Nintendo Switch 2 $449.99

Xbox Series S (512GB/1TB) $379.99 – $449.99

Xbox Series X (1TB) $649.99

PlayStation 5 Slim (Digital) $599.99

PlayStation 5 Slim (Disc) $649.99

PlayStation 5 Pro $899.99

From reading posts on X/Twitter, I got the feeling that PC Gaming enthusiasts truly believed this was going to compete with console gaming and those players would flock to the utopia that is Steam OS and managing hardware. At this price I believe its way too expensive to temp console gamers and Steam supporters will probably balk about the specs to price ratio.

Because using AI in a product description is a signal to venture capital if private and investors if public, that your stock price deserves to go up.
