Are AMD cards any use for compute tasks such as machine learning though? I would like to build a gaming PC that I can use for stuff like that as well and I feel like there is no real alternative to CUDA at the moment

In theory, sort of, depending on the card and workload. In practice, much more of a headache since (if nothing else) the user base is much smaller.

That's coming from someone who just ordered a 7900xtx anyway.
