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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

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

Nice try big AI. You're not coming anywhere near my teeth.

Of course not, market research costs advertising money!

Fuck off, not happening.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

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.
