Ray tracing isn't about AI, it's about the physics of photons.
Sure not going to argue. Though it is still drawing on computing power much how ai does which is the point of the post pointing out how it drives hard on gaming boxes.
You can go back to measuring marios inseam now.
That makes about as much sense as saying that a truck and excavator both draw a lot on engine power, so, same difference.
Or that both ray tracing and brute force decryption require a lot of compute so they're basically the same.
Although in this case Nvidia's ray-tracing does actually utilize AI. Both for image upscaling as well as (iirc) optimizing the number of rays needed to be cast for a mostly accurate image.
