It uses resources on their end, so they need to bill for it to make it make sense

Doesn't AMD sell the hardware? Isn't it end-users (or companies or whatever) that are running the hardware? So I'm a bit confused, what do you mean by AI dipshits "using" AMD's resources -- especially when it's still available for free on Windows?

It's a client/server app at the end of the day. Free users still expend resources on AMD's end, and it's not solely client-side. If it costs them money, they will of course try to negate or recover the costs of that.

I don't know the software, but is the client/server model necessary, or is it to ensure AMD can enforce price rises when they want?
