Ya know what pfoduct MIGHT be better with AI?
Toasters. They have ONE JOB, and everybody agrees their toaster is crap. But you're not going to buy another toaster, because that too will be crap.
How about a toaster, that accurately, and evenly toasts your bread, and then DOESN'T give you a heart attack at 5am when you're still half asleep???
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK???
Sweet, I'm the one who gets to link the obligatory Technology Connections toaster video!
Aw man, now I want this toaster.
I said the exact same thing months ago when I saw that video. I don’t even use a toaster.
Nah. We already have AI toasters, and they're ambitious, but rubbish.
Adding AI is just serious overkill for a toaster, especially when it wouldn't add anything meaningful, not compared to just designing the toaster better.
It only needs one string of conditions that it can understand: don't catch on fire. Turn yourself off IF smoke.
AI toasters are a Bad Idea
Did you want some toast?
This is the visionary we need. Take my venture capital millions on a magic carpet ride, time traveler!
