ChatGPT can now help you build a new PC

ChatGPT can be put to a lot of uses, as we've seen - such as its recent introduction to gaming chat platform Discord - and the latest one is the AI being recruited to help consumers build a PC over at major US retailer Newegg. In fact, Newegg is putting the AI's skills to use for a raft of things across the retailer's site, but primarily to beef up the PC Builder tool, which is now labeled as'Build with AI' - and a clear caveat that this is still a beta experience. As you might expect, if you want to put together a PC, ChatGPT will help provide recommendations for various components that will go together well, or fit a certain budget. You can make a broad inquiry, such as a gaming PC with an Intel processor and AMD GPU, for example, within a certain budget, and ChatGPT will hop to it and help. This does feel like an early beta - which it is, to be fair - given that in our first test query for the AI to build a gaming rig, we were told that it "couldn't make a build based on [our] prompt," but that our input would "help improve this tool that's currently in beta."
