Depends on what you mean by "general purpose computing". Is machine learning general purpose? Are graphics general purpose? Is playing video and audio general purpose? If those aren't general purpose, I'm not sure what "general purpose" means.
GPUs and other specialized hardware aren't good at everything, and I acknowledged as much upthread, but the set of problems they're good at is large and growing.
