It&#x27;s a logical question, but unfortunately things don&#x27;t work like that.<p>Whule both might be turing-complete, the kind of tasks a GPU does fast are the tasks that are extremely parallelizable.<p>3D image creation (the most basic thing they do) is like that. So are other tasks we program them to do (e.g. running some number crunching etc).<p>But normal programs we run (the OS, Word, Photoshop, the web browser etc) are not like that, and we can&#x27;t easily make them like that.
