Newegg introduced a PC builder powered by ChatGPT, but it has some serious problems when it comes to recommending parts
Newegg is the latest to capitalize on the hype of ChatGPT by integrating the GPT model into its PC Builder tool. It sounds great — give it a prompt tailored for your purpose and get a PC build, all with quick links to buy what you need. There’s just one problem — it’s terrible.
Related This behavior stretches across any budget you give the AI. It’s not consistent either. If you asked for a $500 PC, it will suggest an $1,100 build in one iteration and an $800 build in a different one. Myself and Digital Trends Computing Editor Luke Larsen played a bit of a game where we provided the exact same prompt to the AI at the same time, and in each case, we received wildly different builds.
That example I mentioned above wasn’t a fluke; in four out of the five runs, the AI suggested a build that was more expensive with a budget of $1,000 versus a budget of $2,000. I could go on and on with these examples. I asked it for an RTX 3080 gaming PC; it recommended a build with the RTX 3070. I asked it for a PC with AMD’s 3D V-Cache, and it recommended three different builds with Intel processors. By far the worst example, however, was when it suggested a 32GB kit of DDR5 memory for an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X — which, for the record, doesn’t support DDR5. It even said the build wouldn’t work, but it recommended the list anyway.
