I'd love to abuse this, but I refuse to use Twitter
cursory reading seems to indicate this feature is for ~~Elon-pleasuring suckers~~paying users anyway.
I feel like generative AI is an indicator of a broader pattern of innovation in stagnation (shower thoughts here, I'm not bringing sources to this game).
I was just a little while ago wondering if there is an argument to be made that the innovations of the post-war period were far more radically and beneficially transformative to most people. Stuff like accessible dishwashers, home tools, better home refrigeration etc. I feel like now tech is just here to make things worse. I can't think of any upcoming or recent home tech product that I'm remotely excited about.
Most of the stuff these days is behind the scenes, like clean energy, innovative water reclamation, etc. it's life changing but we don't really see it every day.
In my opinion we should put cars away in urban areas and go to e-bikes/rickshaws. That would be both transformative and an improvement.

Airfriers?
We reinvented the easy bake oven and sold it to adults.
can confirm
Modern air friers are just convection ovens and those have been around commercially since the mid 40s. So... Even that's not new.
.... Nope. In fact one of my in-laws said that they'd buy us an air frier for Christmas once the sales came. Everyone forgot about it shortly after and I don't care one bit.
