AI shite creeping into everyday life, example #1928748392:
I was out mattress shopping today. It was enjoyably ridiculous - the sales assistant measured my "pillow size" using a big contraption (apparently I'm a 2). However while testing a mattress I saw a video display advertising an "AI" widget to go with a specific "motion" mattress.
Baffled, I searched this up later.
AI voice control & Anti-snore box
I think this is un-enjoyably ridiculous. It's not really clear what's "AI" about it.
Imagine sleeping by lying down and closing your eyes peasant.
I guess the voice recognition probably used some kind of machine learning?
It seems possible, but they don't actually explain....
