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.
Dildo-as-a-Service
But if I don't have a toilet AI how will I remember what I had to eat the other day for less than $4.99/mo?
"This is just plain fuckin' stupid. Your neighbor gets a dildo that plays 'O Come, All Ye Faithful' and you wanna get one too!"
I gave you the up vote because it's a good take, but this really has nothing to do with the article, so I can tell that you and a bunch of your 58 up voters didn't read it
I did read it, and my comment is exactly referencing the attitude of the author which is "It's good enough, so you should use it". I disagree, and say it's another dumbass shortcut to cash grab on a less than stellar ecosystem and product. It's training wheels for failure.
IDK connecting a electronic masturbation device to a chatbot so it can robotically tell you how its raping you and you deserve it because you're a worthless human is kinda hot.
And combined with a smart watch and a blood pressure cuff, I bet it could learn to edge you perfectly and indefinitely.
This is a pretty good take imo
