Sorry for misunderstanding your question. I think photon's comment is probably the most likely, a content creator using it for their work.
Could also be a grad student using AI for their research and wanting to stretch their grant money, or an enthusiast who's self-learning about AI for their own personal interest or to enhance their resume.

I was just checking out prices for the 4090 and they seem to be completely out of stock at Memory Express, Best Buy and Newegg. You may be able to get a decent price for it; but the 5090 will probably also take awhile to be readily available so you could be stuck gaming like a console peasant for awhile.
