    Remember when everybody was making “smart” toasters and fridges and shit with cameras or WiFi for absolutely no reason.

    This is that all over again.

    Nobody needs “AI” in their water kettles, dryers, or dildos.

      This is a pretty good take imo

      Like AI, IoT is an important and lasting technology

      But too many businesses and products jumped on a misguided bandwagon to pull stupid uniformed VC money
