Dalewyn simply posted a substantial truth in imprecise terms. Some interpreted it fixated with its literality - which was irrelevant.

A search for the use of 'Generative Processing Unit' can reveal that the expression may be far from widespread. Nonetheless, GPUs today are importantly that. Explicit adoption of that expression matters little in this context - it is not the point. In fact, I initially misread the text in the post as "General Processing Unit", and it still made sense.

...Usual exhausting snipers. No wonder the whole world is going to hell. Is any relevant vandal also thinking of a reply? Because the impression left is that you have something like "feelings to express". Which remains as collectively constructive as performance dance in your closet.
