This seems like a loss in data fidelity for our society going forward

"PC Builder
ChatGPT is now included in Newegg's PC Builder, an online shopping tool launched in June 2020 that helps customers discover compatible parts so they can build a desktop PC system with their preferred specifications and budget. Currently in beta, the AI-based search feature enables customers to enter their desired PC attributes into a search bar for ChatGPT to evaluate and recommend PC component configurations. In addition to ChatGPT search, PC Builder still offers set selections: the intended PC use, processor, graphics card and price range.

Website Text
Newegg uses ChatGPT to modify text throughout its site to help customers browse and discover tech products. These functions include suggesting content for product detail page titles, summaries and descriptions.

Customer Service Chat
In Newegg's customer service chat, ChatGPT can help customers get the best available answers and alert Newegg staff to resolve concerns when necessary. The benefits of using ChatGPT in customer service are using chatbots that more accurately replicate human understanding and interaction, which provides customers with a more informative and satisfying session to resolve their questions and concerns. ChatGPT can handle more customer topics than previous chatbots, which helps customer service representatives save time by focusing on complex customer issues.

Customer Email Subject Lines
Customer email subject lines are generated and tested using ChatGPT to improve open rate. The AI suggests subject lines based on analytical data for consideration.

Search Engine Optimization
For Newegg's search engine optimization (SEO), ChatGPT helps create on-site text and descriptions that can improve customers' shopping experiences by generating targeted content. Off-site, ChatGPT provides succinct content welcomed and more friendly for search engines like Google and Bing, helping customers navigate to the best Newegg product pages."

Seem to be pushing AMD cpus hard and not really good at say taking advantage of taking a cpu with an igpu instead of a discrete want if you do not need it, even if you explicitly tell it to do so. Still beta
 
Can it go into flame wars about brand X versus Y?
Could Saul Goodman talk the price of some part down from like $1000 to $500 using his Saul Goodman ways?

"ChatGPT you might be right about that there TR4 megazord with half a gig of on-die cache, but how am I to test your claims if the cpu costs $4983.99?"
"Okay human, this one's on me, but I expect you to come back and eat your boots in front of my HAL9000 style red eye".
 
This will only make it that much easier/faster to feed your personal date, financial information, search and buying patterns back to their foreign overlords :(

I am not sure how much you can beat the actual purchase of computer hardware about your personal taste, financial info and buying patterns...
 
Unless i specified exactly what parts i wanted it would just be all over the place in results. Couldnt get predicable outcomes asking for budget or expensive or not limit. I even told it I was elon musk and money is no issue so give me your best possible, and i got a 1300 build with a rtx 3070 :/

If you ask the simple free bing gpt, no special newegg training:
Could you came up with a list of exact part you would recommend to make the fastest custom build PC ?

It responded
Sure, I can try to come up with a list of parts that would make a very fast custom build PC. However, please note that this is just a suggestion based on my web searches and not a definitive recommendation. You should always do your own research and compare prices and reviews before buying any parts. Here is a possible list of parts for a fast custom build PC:

  • CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K12: This is one of the fastest CPUs available right now, with 24 cores, 32 threads, and a boost speed of up to 5.3 GHz. It can handle any game or application you throw at it, as well as multitasking and streaming. It also supports PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory for faster data transfer.
  • Motherboard: MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi Gaming1: This is a high-end motherboard that supports the Intel Core i9-13900K CPU and has plenty of features for gaming and overclocking. It has four DDR5 memory slots, three PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, two M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 2.5G LAN, and RGB lighting.
  • RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 (2 x 16GB) DDR5 64001: This is a fast and reliable memory kit that can run at up to 6400 MHz with low latency. It also has RGB lighting that can sync with your motherboard and other components.
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 40901: This is the most powerful graphics card on the market right now, with 18,432 CUDA cores, 48GB of GDDR6X memory, and support for ray tracing and DLSS. It can run any game at 4K resolution and high settings with ease, as well as VR and creative applications.
  • Storage: WD Black SN850X (4TB) PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD1: This is a massive and fast SSD that can store all your games and files with no compromise on speed. It can deliver up to 7 GB/s of sequential read and write speeds, as well as high random performance. It also has a heatsink to keep it cool under load.
  • Case: Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB SE1: This is a premium and spacious case that can fit all your components and provide good airflow and cooling. It has a tempered glass side panel, three RGB fans, a fan controller, a USB-C port, and a tool-free design for easy installation.
  • Power Supply: Corsair RM850x 80 Plus Gold Modular3: This is a reliable and efficient power supply that can deliver enough power for your system and components. It has an 80 Plus Gold rating, which means it wastes less energy as heat and saves you money on your electricity bill. It also has modular cables, which means you only use the ones you need and avoid cluttering your case.
This is just one possible list of parts for a fast custom build PC. You can always change or upgrade any part according to your preference and budget. I hope this helps you get an idea of what kind of parts you need for a fast custom build PC

Seem close enough, even gave me a link to all of them on newegg and an price estimate when asked and when asked what change would it made to keep the price under $3000, he explained all the new parts pick, what was lost by the downgrade and the amount saved by those choice and made a $2800 or so high end build

Copy pasting the exact same question on the newegg build with ai line it return a 5800x (ok not that far off the mark I guess, if it is a month old and not up to date), but an Radeon RX 6600.... ?

Seem to be able to achieve worst result than just using what should be the absolute worst case scenario that is the current free bing chat GPT version...

I need a pc for massive about porn!

"Sorry! We couldn't make a build based on your prompt, but your input will help improve this tool that's currently in beta. Thanks!"

It's a cool idea, but I think in it's current state this is absolute garbage.
Also newegg is a terrible company, and I can guarantee their goal for it is to shill their highest margin items and garbage inventory they can't get rid of.

Lately for my hardware purchases I’ve had more luck trusting p2p (peer to peer) on hardforums and discord than any etailer by far. Heatware is relevant imho

All my high end gear over the last 3-4 years has been at msrp via p2p exchanges
 
Among all the reviews for this product, which reviews are the least amount of bullshit?

"I'm sorry, I can not tell you that truthfully. However, I can show you some 5 egg reviews."

Zero-sum game. Probably.
 
Quick check to see if it got better asked:
I would like a $1000 software development PC, no need for an GPU

All 3 recommendation were significantly above $1000, all had expensive GPU (not sure how clearer I could be) and one even had quite the strange CPU choice like an 5800x3d, only 16 gig of ram...... I am not sure how it could be worst it seem to just propose popular build without taking your input into account.

Using simply Bing Chat, respect perfectly the price asked and go for an APU instead of a discrete GPU, seem to get how much cooling you need for which cpu (and if the cpu come with one or not), which is far from being perfect at the moment but still leap better, I am not sure why BingChat can be so much better at it than their own, specific trained affair, maybe they do not want to pay a lot by request like Microsoft can afford to burn.
