That was the excuse for memory.
They're also stopping production on affordable desktop graphics cards that don't AI well.
Next up, They're going to stop making SSD and force the price of NVMe up.
They've yet to release that they're going to drive up the prices of CPU's, motherboards and power supplies.
AI companies have found ways to force consumers to use their products against their will. These hardware vendors no longer need to compete to get you to buy, if you use a search engine, an browser, a mail service or a major social network, you're using their stuff and the AI company buys it on your behalf. Since they can just charge you for that and you can't do anything about that price, your purchases no longer matter.

We're pushing the gas pedal to a boring dystopia.
