Speaking as someone who used to buy them regularly to support a PC gaming hobby stretching back to the original glQuake -- GPUs were on average very reasonably priced prior to the crypto boom that preceded the AI boom.
So its technically not AI "ruining everything" here, but there was a nice, long before-time of reasonable pricing.
