> time for computers and their components

Seems it has been the opposite for some components like GPUs though for years (well before the AI boom)

Speaking as someone who used to buy them regularly to support a PC gaming hobby stretching back to the original glQuake -- GPUs were on average very reasonably priced prior to the crypto boom that preceded the AI boom.

So its technically not AI "ruining everything" here, but there was a nice, long before-time of reasonable pricing.
