Silicone Valley

didn’t want it in their mouse.

Huh?

You know what they meant by the first one. The second one is about people not being interested in dumb products like the Logitech AI mouse. Corporations are all jamming AI into their products and marketing materials not because users like it (they don't) but because they hope it will attract investors. So AI is more interesting to investors than to people who don't want it in their mouse.

And then here I am still waiting for an AI to correct my horrible typing accuracy on my phone...

Holy crap! When he said “AI mouse” I thought it was a joke. I mean it is, but, like, I thought it was an amusing fictional story.

I thought it was a typo for "house".

…the Logitech AI mouse.

That should be false advertising; both to consumers and investors. There is nothing AI about a dedicated button preprogrammed to launch an application that does the AI for you.

But I guess that further demonstrates your point about companies cramming shit in consumer’s faces to appease investors. It’s still a huge WTF in my book though.

But it's only four easy interest-free payments of $12.49!
