And they'll probably shut down the AI servers in a few years for cost reduction making the whole thing a huge waste of money.

Why is that coffee machine showing me a picture of the Sydney Opera House instead of making coffee?
About the Bosch E-Bike, I have a bike with a Bosch motor and they really are that bad. The bike comes with an app and you need to give them your personal data to "unlock" basic features of the app and an electronic bike lock. If you want to let another person use that bike, you need a subscription. I deleted the app. Fuck Bosch.
I'd return it for not meeting basic product expectations.

What the heck. The whole paragraph is so ‘unnecessary technology’.
I refuse to buy "smart devices" riddled with AI, it's just a drag and not what this tech should be used for.
I'm just going to install a door knocker.
The hot new category at CES 2027 is going to be AI-powered auto door knockers.
"It automatically does a facial scan of any household visitors using Palantir's database and knocks the way they would have."
"Couldn't they just, you know, knock?"
"Sure, but then how would we track who's visiting you while making you pay the power bill for our surveillance devices?"
I'm holding off until HD AI.

AI eXtreme!
We're going back to the late nineties.

Screaming is well and good to build public opinion against this stupidity, but all the CEOs in their towers will heed is no sales.
We need to make it uncool to like or tolerate AI bullshit in consumer products.
If you have friends, and they show you their new fridge with a touch screen, don't be polite. Tell them it's the stupidest thing you've ever seen, and then mock them for choosing it every chance you get. And, no, I don't have friends anymore (but, this is not why).

I just installed a new doorbell button, the little light burned out in my old one.
I don't have a "security" camera. As far as I can tell, all they do is provide a memento of the crime after the fact, and prompt my neighbors to worry about "suspicious" people outside walking. They seem to do the opposite of making people feel more secure. They seem to raise anxiety.
