You don't need SOTA-level LLMs to create value with AI. Hell, you can build good solutions with a simple small finetuned models.

I know you are taking your analogy to its breaking point but it really depends on what you are doing. I know people that use 10+-year old thinkpads and they do just fine.

person said "insanely powerful". expectations of "insanely powerful" is way beyond the graph of an individual using consumer-grade hardware.

I agree with you but to be fair I also think that even 10 year old hardware is insanely powerful by any reasonable metric. Modern computers are truly ridiculous when considered in historical context.
When models are good, expectations are adjusted accordingly to deliver things on par with the whole industry, you can't just say, I have built my own Intel Pentium II, now I will try to use it to compile Electron App and run 3DS Max there
