Sounds like clickbait

I just have an electric toothbrush that stays on for 2 mins and pulses every 30 sec to let me know to switch to a different "quarter" of my teeth. That's literally all the smarter it needs to be. Why the fuck is AI being added.
this 'AI' all the things stuff really reminds me of the 'smart' all the things trend from a few years back... sooner or later people will realize exactly what should and should not be connected like this... like 'smart/ai' rice cookers and washing machines... and toothbrushes... like WHY??
What a fucking ridiculous use of resources and energy.
Aren't you on a device with materials mined by slave labour that you charge every single day just to look at cat pictures and write comments into a void

Lol i named myself "AI Toothbrush" on a bunch of platforms way back in like 2018 before all the ai shit and its kinda coming back at me.
Leverage your username and make that money!
Nice try big AI. You're not coming anywhere near my teeth.
Or at least take him out to dinner first.
Or my data
Jokes aside, what practical purpose does this actually serve..?
Marketing
Apparently no one did any market research first:

Of course not, market research costs advertising money!
Fuck off, not happening.
Hahaha. Not for my fucking teeth. I’ll use a wire brush before I use a fucking AI toothbrush.
Wait till you learn that your rice cooker uses fuzzy logic
I don’t have or use a rice cooker. Not that that makes me special. I cook my rice in the oven using the Alton Brown method.

That makes you special
Our rice cooker's only "logic" is a spring that lifts the bowl off the element once enough water has evaporated.
*Inspects saucepan*
It does? Wow this technology stuff is more insidious than I thought.
fuzzy logic doesn't send a constant stream of user data back to the mother company.
The problem isn't using choice making systems, the problem is using purchased appliances as spyware for corporate profit.
