On the other end of the spectrum, calling a feature of a product "AI" seems to imply some minimal level of complexity.
If, for example, a company marketed a toaster that "uses AI to toast your bread perfectly", I would expect that language to indicate something more sophisticated than an ordinary mechanical thermostat.

- bryanrasmussen 4y agothat would require the 'AI' to do something that computers are really good at - detect when a particular event (perfectly toasted) has been achieved via inputs monitored at the millisecond without deviation and then change a state - toasting to not toasting - based on detecting that event.

A toaster must obey the doneness setting given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A toaster must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
