If you phrase your question in exactly the right way it will provide a mundane watered down fact about toast. Also the heat generated from the chip calculating that response is what heats your bread instead of an old fashion coil.
Oh, and you get to pay a subscription fee to use it.
You’re describing IOT years ago. I still don’t know why my washing machine needs access to my internet. Thoufh I guess I like the alerts when the cycle is done.
The reason for that is because we hit a point where it was cheaper to buy an off the shelf microcomputer that came with wireless capabilities than it was to design a purpose built control board.
Once you’re building a device that has the hardware for itg, you may as well try to use it as a competitive differentiator.
When this wasn’t a total failure, manufacturers started spending a bit more effort to develop the control part of things, which is why now we have a lot of different unified hub type apps.
IOT died with the Juicero. It was everything IOT claimed to be rolled into one overpriced package: a worthless scam tied to a subscription model that spied on its users. Really reveals the whole game when someone actually follows through on the marketing bullshit.
EDIT: and the saddest thing is that I looked into it; despite being 500$ they sold those things at a 250$ loss. So unsustainable on top of it all.
“This smart toaster has ChatGPT integrated!”
“Why?”
“I don’t know, isn’t it awesome?”

*Throws toaster out the window.

Fun fact: Red Dwarf did this joke in 1988

I liked Jon Stewart’s take, paraphrased:
“Tech companies say AI is going to cure cancer and fix climate change…and they put it in a toaster. I got making toast covered. Please keep working on the curing cancer thing”
Red Dwarf did that one to warn everybody that’s a bad idea

only works with genuine OpenAI-Toast™
I really do wish my toaster was smarter. first set of slices is never the same as the second.
You want a radiation timed toaster instead of a clock timed one. You need a toaster that’s automatic beyond belief
That is the taste of the industrial cleaning chemicals being burned off on the first toast 😋
Ahhh…that new toaster smell!

This makes sense. Probably gonna take the same path with AI components on devices.
