Agree, but that said, if there was AI branding on any hardware I was about to purchase, I’d check and double check that it doesn’t send all my data to some cloud service.
It would surely help if companies stopped slapping the AI label onto everything. I’ve seen washing machines and ovens claiming using AI these days. Being wary of this idiocy is perfectly reasonable.
Things like deepl were previously called »machine learning« or »deep learning« and are now under the »AI« umbrella too. Doesn’t change that it’s useful and has been since long before the current AI trend.
The Canon 5D MK3 claimed AI Auto Focus way back in 2012, if i was inclined to search up more examples I’m sure i could find some from even before that. Thing is it sounds SciFi and Tech because it’s taken from SciFi Books.
It doesn’t show anything of the sort. They would somehow slab an LLM AI interface even on HDD enclosures if they could and call it a “smart enclosure” and it would be nothing but a surveillance entshittification central.
There is a very clear reason why there is a backlash against everything called AI, it is because almost all of it is predatory surveillance entshittification projects forced upon consumers who never asked for it.
The “hur dur AI has always been around” is a fallacy which does not adress the actual problem.
Just shows how fucking stupid the blind zealotry is. AI has been around for a while and had some very good uses. All or nothing is a bad paradigm.

I used to have a clothes dryer with a “fuzzy logic” label
Doom uses so called ‘AI’. What everyone is really talking about is LLMs.
