Just had a press release for a blender that claims to be powered by AI. Further investigation reveals that it just changes its speed depending on the attachments you use. Needless to say, I don’t think this poses much of an imminent threat to humanity - ThreadSky

You wouldn't be saying that if you were inside the blender.

Jokes aside, make sure to clarify between the traditional Artificial Intelligence thats been around for decades without issue, and Generative AIs that are inherent copyright violation and a threat to artistic jobs.

That confusion is part of the scheme.

That's what the blenders want you to think...

I've got an AI powered toilet. How else could it know just the right amount of water to fill itself back up with?

Magic Breakfast Smoothie! Just select your fruit, your attachment and press go! Never get up at 5am to push raw mango through a sieve again! Revolutionary!

I think you’re taking a big whisk there.

Yeah. Not all uses of AI are terrible. I'd personally want a manual override, because a cook MIGHT want to do something other than what the AI thinks is best, but I could see this being useful.

Remember clippy? In the 00's?

AI.

Google?

An algrhythm that learns. AI.

Machine learning has been a thing for a long time.

I was at the CES Show recently and saw AI powered toasters, cat food dispensers and LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING THING ELSE.

I'm more afraid of the thing with the whirling metal blades than I am of Alexa.

That's what all the people in Maximum Overdrive thought.

Powered by AI nowadays has the same value as a company saying they use microservices or agile. It's a buzzword that sells so ppl use it, most people using the word don't actually know what it means, and most actually are not doing what they say they're doing...
