Companies are going all-in on artificial intelligence right now, investing millions or even billions into the area while slapping the AI initialism on their products, even when doing so seems strange and pointless.

Heavy investment and increasingly powerful hardware tend to mean more expensive products. To discover if people would be willing to pay extra for hardware with AI capabilities, the question was asked on the TechPowerUp forums.

The results show that over 22,000 people, a massive 84% of the overall vote, said no, they would not pay more. More than 2,200 participants said they didn't know, while just under 2,000 voters said yes.

  1. Know when you're about to put groceries in so it makes the fridge colder so the added heat doesn't make things go bad.
  2. Know when you don't use it and let it get a tiny bit warmer to save a teeny bit of power. (The vast majority of power is cooling new items, not keeping things cold though.)
  3. Tell you where things are?
  4. Ummm... Maybe give you an optimized layout of how to store things?
  5. Be an attack vector on your home's wifi
  6. Wait, no, uh,
  7. Push notifications
  8. Do you not have phones?
