    That for sure is a problem with all modern bullshit technologies they want to hype in order to get people to use/buy it.

    Look at smart tv’s… everyone assumes they’re awesome since they’re smart tv’s, that’s of course better than a regular tv. They’ll of course never mention that this just means that it’s a tv with a 100$ android box embedded that they’ll abuse to try to serve you extra ads, that they’ll not bother to update so your tv becomes obsolete in a couple of years, and that you can achieve the same thing by just buying the android box sepearately and connect that to a regular tv, which won’t make your entire tv become obsolete when the cheap android box doesn’t get updated anymore…

    So yeah, i can imagine you have an issue with it being marked as (competent) AI.

      Yeah for real.

      Smart TVs, Subscription services, etc.

      It’s all just capitalism doing its thing, everyone racing to sell sell sell.
