Yesterday I went to buy an electric toothbrush and some were marketed as having "AI". This thing is reaching astronomical bandwagon proportions.

Well at least you can switch your crypto mining toothbrush with AI infused one that will analyze movements of your hands and once sold to insurance brokers conclude you have an old injury and are a risky driver raising your insurance premiums.
I was thinking "AI" is the new "blockchain".
Great point—except it’s palatable to big tech and large investors.
Current model massage chairs are marketed as having AI (which I think actually just means they have pressure sensors which they use to detect your height/weight... but who knows these days?)
