The concept of AI potentially reverting computing to a "dumb terminal" era is being discussed, where powerful, centralized AI systems would handle processing, requiring only basic hardware from users. This shift could make advanced computing accessible again, as modern high-performance laptops and even devices like the Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB RAM are becoming increasingly unaffordable for the average worker. The idea raises questions about the future of personal hardware and the potential return to simpler input methods. AI
