Right. "The GPU is irrelevant to my day to day work," is actually saying that exploiting large amounts of embarrassingly parallel processing is irrelevant. It's more likely in the medium to long-term, that the relevance just hasn't been discovered yet.

I was responding to: "If you're a game dev obviously this is different, but most people aren't." A GPU may not be relevant to you specifically, but it's relevant to far more people than just game devs.

Just to clarify: I'm agreeing with you, not disagreeing.

For the workflow of most people it's completely irrelevant.

Where it is relevant you can run tasks server-side where you have absurd amounts of GPU, none of which would fit in a dinky notebook.
