A report published by Moneywise argues that the cost of personal computers declined steadily for four decades, and that the trend ended once artificial intelligence entered the picture. According to the piece, buying a new device may now cost consumers more.

Only the headline of the report is available to us; the body text could not be retrieved. For that reason we are not citing figures on the size of any price increase, which components are affected, or the timeline involved. Since claims like this depend on concrete numbers, readers should go to the original for the details.
