Fracking toasters.
Toasters is, and always has been a better insult.
It needs to be plugged in, temperature set, then a button to turn bread into toast.
Basically calling a machine simple, single purposed, restrained, and relatively unconfigurable.
While fairly dangerous when left unattended.
It's also a device that is demonstrably better without AI. So you're essentially saying that they would be better as script driven assembly arms.
Idk man.
The AI could like take a voice recording, break it down, say sure thing! This is how you make a toasted turkey sandwich!
Then refuse to toast your bread until it knows you put turkey, lettuce,tomato and mayo on the bread
So say we all
So say we all.
