I'm always sceptical about those claims.

Let them prove it, and then we can decide if it's good or not, instead of getting our hopes up for empty promises.

Not the first time ppl have made outlandish claims with AI, even though of course you'd expect someone like Nvidia to be cognisant about this kind of marketing.

NVIDIA's marketing overhypes, but their technical papers tend to be very solid. Obviously it always pays to remain skeptical but they have a good track record in this case.
