How's this different from plus aliases?

Your app looks amazing. Looking forward to it becoming available!

AI is such a dumb stupid label they slap on anything these days.

It isn't even AI, if it was it would be a fucking sentient stick you'd shove down your mouth.

Just like how they used to slap Smart on everything years ago, the device isn't smart, it just has new features. They just abuse the terms to try and stay relevant in modern markets. It's annoying as fuck though, because actual AI is a pretty interesting concept, but I've not seen any real AI, since practically all of it is just yet another feature that someone programmed to do something specific.

Not just an AI toothbrush, an A.I. toothbrush for 🧠 geniuses 🌟.

I took this the other day while toothbrush shopping so my partner and I could laugh about it. I bought the cheapest Sonicare they make and it works as well as every other one I've had for the last decade, but without bluetooth, wifi, AI, an app, etc.

(And it's still overpriced garbage. My last one just stopped working out of the blue, almost 2 years to the day after I bought it, right outside the warranty period. Planned obsolescence is an exact science these days.)

I have one of those. My partner got a pair of them with a heavy discount and it is an excellent toothbrush

I couldn’t tell you what it does differently i would need to download an app to see which is never gonna happen. I am using it as am bog standard electric brush and i cant be arsed to read the manual.

Theres a small screen that will display how long you brushed that shows you an frowning face if you cut it short. Il leave it up to others to judge how useful that is for an adult.

My dentist has no complaints and that is really the best i can ask so yeah its a great normal electronic toothbrush if you literally ignore the ai part of it.

My late 50s mum happily signs up with her Facebook to everything. Meanwhile it's often the people in their late 20s to 30s who were introduced to computers during their youth before everything had super streamlined GUIs who know enough about software that they realize this is a privacy concern, what internet privacy means, and why it's important. People who are older or younger than that have to go out of their way to learn how and why to look behind the easy interfaces. That's my experience and explanation at least.

Boomers would get the bulb set up by their kids, then something will happen, and you come over to find your parents sitting in a rave room because they need the light and can't fix it.

Millennial here. We are in agreement.

I think it's a complaint from everyone but Gen z, who are just used to it.

Sadly these days, it’s a hold over from boomer managers making the decision that services require logins, which in turn require accounts and emails. So gen-x managers who were taught by boomers do the same thing. It’s systematic really.

Gen X here and can confirm.
