That's my point. It does that without a language model. Not only is perfect toast a solved problem, but slathering on a layer of LLM bullshit isn't going to make it more affordable than the Mitsubishi.
- mrtksn 2y agoYes, but it’s very expensive. My point is that it can be possible to bring down all kind of electronics control unit into single standard component. The toaster and your dishwasher can have the exact same electronics since they wouldn’t need specialized computer that needs to have specialized software and wouldn’t need specialized engineering to make the software work with the hardware. Just connect the sensors and the other hardware like the heating unit to the AI board and tell it what it is and tell it to act like a toaster.

- Tao3300 2y agoI'd still rather not introduce non-determinism into the mix. A toaster should be consistent in executing its expected function[1] and also not prone to hallucinations. 1: even if this means the operator needs experience and expertise from trial and error to know if it's cold, already hot, if we're putting bagels in, etc.
