@nixCraft Not all A.I features are useless to be honest, they do help a lot. But integrating A.I to every corner of the world is madness. I saw an ad of an A.I refrigerator and an AI air conditioner.

@nexus_r21 @nixCraft machine learning for fridges and AC isn't that useless, if they learn how to anticipate users' needs and cool slower or in colder times of the day with higher COP it might mean decent power savings. If AI in this case instead it's meant some llm chatbot to turn them on or off, well, that's something else

@Waslich @nexus_r21 @nixCraft its a fridge, it just needs to keep the freezer and cooler areas at their determined ranges. Micromanaging compressor runs to grid costs is gonna save dollars a year while the harvested data makes a company millions. Nope.

@Officeplant @nexus_r21 @nixCraft I don't understand why a compressor's inverter controller should be connected to the internet, nor how a company would make millions if it collected data on how often we open the fridge's doors and the temperatures inside and outside the fridge.
