Companies keep pushing AI as something positive, in increasingly stupid ways.

From the SAAB JAS-39 Gripen E fighter supposedly having AI, to the Sony A7R VI having AI auto focus, and other weird applications.

As a resonably logical person who works in IT, I can see the Gripen E having the space, energy and general computing resources to run a local AI model, but the Sony A7R VI?

I am mashing X hard on that one!

How much of AI bullshit is just machine learning and just older tech we have had for a while under different names?

Don't get me wrong, I hate AI with a passion, I am not trying to excuse it's use, I am trying to figure out what devices use AI branding as a marketing gimmick while using less bad crap, and what devices actually could use AI.

As an IT guy and a hobby photographer I feel like AI is far too much A while inhibiting the I of the user.

A man lying beneath a shower head (the thing I thought was a toilet plunger) with his feet over his head/ The words: Shower lower abdomen and thighs, pelvic region for a long time. Turn over and shower all of back from neck to heels thoughly, also sides, then raise legs and let shower strike over rectum, lower back, groins and inside the legs.

Yes, it says groins not groin.

"The government is moving forward in a way that is more indicative of an authoritarian approach rather a democratic approach," says Kwan. "Bill C-22 is an indication of that. Civil liberties organizations have said the bill is one of the most significant expansion of state surveillance authority in Canada in decades. They're even saying that it's the most invasive piece of legislation to come forward."

Even the Canadian Chamber of Commerce seems to think so. "You wouldn't have thought that they would be against a banker prime minister's legislation, the CCC, representing 200,000 businesses with a network of over 400 chambers of commerce and boards of trade across the country, said they are fundamentally opposed to this bill. They oppose the breaking of encryption and other essential zero knowledge security tools to provide the government and law enforcement with unfettered access to digital systems."
