Is this a use case for those new fangled m.2 ai accelerators I have been reading about?

I think I even have 1 m.2 socket open.

I'm not a fan of system level anything that affects multiple apps. It could be a feature that is exposed to apps and then if the developer wants to support it then they put in the option. Just like FSR and DLSS.

I imagine it will be a lot like AutoHDR, which you can opt out of.

I wonder if this will use the ai accelerators for the meteor lake chips they started putting in laptops. (Yea I got one.)
