Trying 9 "AI" Tech Products

[@albema_music]

I've got the feeling that AI will be so overused that in several months/years we'll see a lot of products proudly advertised as "non-AI products"

[@heyjustj]

Already happening. I work in advertising and marketing and with EVERYONE saying “this ad was created using AI” I’ve done some ads mocking them (and seen others as well) touting the novelty of the ad being created by a human. Ads by humans, for humans. But that will get old quick too and we’ll move on to the next thing.

[@heyjustj]

Also with products like Baby Monitors you’ll find they are often MORE expensive if they don’t have an app or smart features that connect to the internet or your phone because the fear of cameras in the home being hacked. Less features being sold as a privacy feature that they can then charge extra for.

About the only positively useful use of ‘AI’ that I can think of

[@zimbu_]

For English/French/Spanish I'd almost agree because translating between closely related languages with plenty of material to teach your LLM on is relatively straight forward, but if we're talking about someone speaking Jin Chinese and having it be translated to Finnish on the fly it's more "understanding maybe kinda, understanding near to speaking the same language probably impossible with current approaches".

[@FunctionallyLiteratePerson]

I have to say for some languages and dialects I have horrible experiences with even Google translate, and worse with other alternatives (even "AI"ones). I don't know how soon I'd use a wearable translator. I've gotten the opposite meaning at times, which could cause huge problems if not obvious by context

[@dav2mai]

Just assume everything 'AI' is an abbreviation for 'Algorithms Inside'

[@wesleyfilips7052]

That's the creepiest looking humanoid robot ive seen in a long time, i thought we were almost out of the uncanny valley

[@Kujamon]

Can't wait for the AI uprising when our beds and bikes consider humans a threat

[@Philybeef]

Most of this is just straight up gimmicky and a bit overkill. The AI mouse is just is just a regular mouse with extra macro google shortcut buttons. The bike does not need it's own touchscreen and cellular connection, just buy a good strong phone mount. The AI grill is kinda cool and would be useful for someone like me who is pretty much useless in the kitchen.

[@superslash7254]

A decent leave-in thermalprobe will work far better and actually guarantee you an accurate outcome every single time.

[@micahjohnson9184]

Ok, the name is a stretch but the mouse is a pretty decent concept, imagine programming that one mouse button to launch Gemini Ultra and speak what you need it to do. The amount of work, you can get done, it would save everyone so much time. This is pretty much just a way of testing the waters, seeing what works and what doesn't.

Did Linus miss the ai catflap with facial recognition? Seriously Linus, that thing is so funny I'd watch every video about it, including a feature legnth.

[@bobspldbckwrds]

I want a Dennis video about the catflap.

[@Polite_Cat]

Is it face recognition for your cat? That's stupid. That's more complex and less accurate then what I have, which is a cat flap that reads the RFID chip in the cat's neck in case it gets lost. If it detects the right chip, it opens the flap. No stupid AI or cameras required.

[@bgezal]

@@Polite_Catit also detects if your cat carries a "free gift" (caught mouse) in its mouth and blocks it from entering.

[@AltonV]

Why should they cover it in this video when they have already done so in another?

[@bgezal]

@@AltonV I think they only covered it in the WAN show?

[@Lizlodude]

Credit to the bike, having a display that just integrates with a bunch of services (of which chatGPT happens to be one) is actually kinda cool.

[@ducknetic]

Good to see that Stevie is still doing sidequests lmao

[@bigbronx]

I couldn't be less excited. BTW that 6 month guarantee on the 1600$ dog robot...

[@zavegaming230]

literally all of these can be accomplished just as well without AI lmao

[@Cyberguy42]

Depends on what you consider "AI". If AI only refers to massive models like ChatGPT, then for the most part yes. If AI includes all forms of machine learning, then no. Modern speech-to-text and translation systems are far better than the older non-machine-learning-based systems. I don't know how the monitor works exactly, but if it can be trained for new games then it is using machine learning even if only relatively simple forms.

This is the chance for games to refuse to boot if it detects AI gaming peripherals. If they don't I'm afraid they'll start adding it to more and more products

[@AstroDash42]

Its hard for game manufacturers to keep track of AI gaming peripherals, especially if companies reuse product names

[@karannsyt]

@@AstroDash42kernel level anti cheat is just becoming more popular at this point they’re gonna need to go through everything connected to your system to detect smh

[@betrangustama]

That ain't helping much as your hardware id can be spoofed/faked so easily

[@Lucaboox]

@@AstroDash42I do think some game devs do it, Rust blocked a bunch of mice because they had built in recoil scripts if you try to launch with them it just closes the game.

The monitor is the most interesting To give one example of this thing’s potential, I can imagine War Thunder players using it to create an incredibly capable fire control system for even 1.0 vehicles Automatic lead, target recognition and tracking, maybe an integrated rangefinder that’s quicker than the stock ones

[@owo1744]

The AI monitors might actually be a useful product in the future for non-gaming appliances, such as for people with disability, and as a tool of convenience. For example, for people with disability, that might not be able to use their hands, can use the AI to search the web more reliably, scroll through pages, zoom in on specific text etc, and for convenience it can allow hands-free browsing of pages, and might even become a saviour of scroll-wheels for those that read comics/manga/books on the internet.
