I use ai to care for my plants, to give me recipes for pan pancakes, to help me fix my coffee machine. LLMs as a popularized thing is just about 2 years old. It is still mainly early adopters. For smartphones it might have taken 10 to 15 years to gain widespread traction. I think it is safe to say that we are only scratching the surface.

These are not categories that needed this change or benefit from it. Specific plant care is one of the easiest things to find information about.

"We made it slightly more convenient, but it might be wrong now and also burns down a tree every time you use it."

>It is still mainly early adopters. I just disagree with this. Every b2b or saas is marketing itself as using hallucination free AI. We're waaaaayyyyyy past the early adoption stage, and the product hasn't meaningfully improved.

I also use it for plant care tips. What should I feed this plant and what kind of soil to use and all the questions I never bothered to Google and crawl through some long blog article on
