hmmmm

: AI pillows and toothbrushes - is it all getting a bit silly?

i mean, really that is just beyond silly

a pillow that detects snoring. It then pumps air into different compartments of a pillow, which gently lifts the head, making the offending snorer roll over and - in theory - alleviating snoring.

*cough* bullshit alert lol

i mean, when will they stop with bullshit

There's an AI washing machine that can purportedly detect different types of fabric too.

@ecksmc I look at it like concept cars or runway fashions. They will eventually make their way into real products in some modified form if there's a producer that sees a big enough market. It could be bullshit or it could be refined into something useful. It's difficult to know ahead of time. Putting it out there though let's more creative or technologically proficient people have a go at it.

@hallmarc imo some things don't need to be connected to the internet and saying they things use AI is all just a gimmick right now

but i get what you are saying

@ecksmc yeah, the AI moniker is all over right now and even companies who have been using ML for a decade are switching over to that branding. When you have a hammer...

@ecksmc
Me: Doctor, my pillow is talking to me. It even moves sometimes.

Doctor: Have you tried contacting Customer Support?

@p3R1n01D if my pillow started to move me around while i slept i'd stab that fucker to death

fabric and feathers everywhere it would be crime scene like no other

@ecksmc
ROFL! 🤣 Same here. Getting a great visual of that! 🤣
