Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

What happens when you let an AI build your PC? That’s what the well-known YouTuber Linus TechTips wanted to know and tried it out. But what was planned as a cool experiment sends him on a rollercoaster of emotions. The end result of the AI ​​is still quite usable, although not everything goes according to plan.

Artificial intelligence is now used in many situations. AI can now generate images that even win art prizes. Or she appears as a streamer on Twitch, where she can inspire thousands of viewers.

The well-known tech YouTuber Linus Sebastian, head of Linus TechTips, therefore wanted to find out whether a PC could also be put together with the help of AI. We have embedded the entire video here for you:

Tech YouTuber builds gaming PC with instructions from chatbot

What was the goal? The YouTuber used the AI ​​”ChatGPT” to assemble a gaming PC.

What is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is a chatbot from the company OpenAI that relies on artificial intelligence (AI). The chatbot is trained with texts from books, websites or forums. The AI ​​tries to imitate the learned texts and provide the user with meaningful answers.

In his video, he wants to do everything the AI ​​tells him to do:

  • He chooses the components that the AI ​​offers him
  • He assembles the computer as instructed by the chatbot.
  • He also takes the liberty to ask certain things.

    • How did the YouTuber go about it? Linus asked the AI ​​what hardware to buy for his new gaming PC. The only requirement is that the entire computer with peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor) should not cost more than 1,500 euros.

    The AI ​​then suggests hardware accordingly. The AI ​​selects a Ryzen 9 5800X and an RTX 3070Ti as well as all other components such as the power supply, case or motherboard.

    However, Linus explains that you can clearly see that the AI ​​was trained a few years ago: Because the AI ​​recommends hardware that is absolutely correct, but would no longer correspond to the current status of 2022/2023.

    How does he go about assembling it? He then follows the individual steps that the chatbot instructs him to build. And that works more or less well.

  • For example, the AI ​​explains to him that he has to pay attention to certain wiring and which parts he has to install in which order.
  • Other “tips” come too late: So he has to install the graphics card, although there is still a slot bracket in the way.
  • The “easy to install” CPU cooler turns out to be quite a complex chunk, which a beginner would be completely overwhelmed by.
  • The AI ​​also recommends a combination of HDD and SSD, which Linus no longer finds up-to-date.
  • With the monitor, the AI ​​also overshoots the target. Here she offers him a high-end monitor that doesn’t fit into the budget. The next options are priced much better.

    • However, the biggest mistake of the AI ​​is the case recommendation. Because ChatGPT recommends a Mini-ITX case – the ATX mainboard selected by the AI ​​​​does not fit in there.

    What comes out of it at the end? In the end, Linus still has a working gaming PC at the start and can gamble with it without any problems. The AI ​​even has tips ready for game problems, such as turning down the details or installing the latest software for the graphics card.

    More about Linus Tech Tips: Only recently, Linus and his team tested Asmongold’s new gaming PC, which costs around 3,000 euros. The streamer is concerned that the well-known YouTuber will find a lot of errors in his PC. You can read about how things are going on MeinMMO:
