It's just clothes, those doesn't have to bd interactive.

Their argument: yeah! 1/4 Canadian wear wearable (mostly watch) so let’s put gait detection in their sole and range finder in their jacket so ~~we~~ they know when there’s someone near and if they walk ok

"Interactive clothes" sounds awesome to me.

a garment made of conductive fibres that track heart rate and breathing and feed that data into an AI algorithm that detects when a person is anxious and triggers a mechanism that causes the garment to tighten and give the feeling of a comforting hug.

Does not.

In addition to all the tracking data. That sounds kinda awful. A clothing item that suddenly starts to constrict me during a time when I'm supposed to be anxious.

Though yeah, when looking at it from a hopeful perspective it might have uses and benefits, but I'd still prefer basic old cheap dumb clothes.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
