The way this is going we're going to have AI toasters by the end of the year.
I'd be surprised if they don't exist already. We already have AI rice cookers: "Zojirushi's top-of-the-line Induction Heating Pressure Rice Cooker & Warmer uses pressurized cooking and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to cook perfect rice." -- from https://www.zojirushi.com/app/product/npnvc https://www.zojirushi.com/app/product/npnvc
- new299 9y agoI realize this is somewhat ridiculous, but I actually found their FAQ [0] and the product very interesting. The term "AI" has become somewhat meaningless, but in this case they appear to be adjusting cooking time based on previous results. I'd guess they are probably adjusting a couple of parameters. My basic understanding of how rice cookers work, is that they essentially apply full heating power until all the water has boiled away/been absorbed. They know when this happens by monitoring the temperature, the temperature wont rise above 100 degrees until all the water has boiled away. At this point they shut off. I guess more "intelligent" rice cookers can do a little more than this, maybe if they see that it's consistently taking less time than expected to cook the rice they can heat to a lower temperature at the start to aid water absorption or something? Would be interested in knowing more. [0] https://www.zojirushi.com/app/faq/rice-cookers https://www.zojirushi.com/app/faq/rice-cookers
