A toaster with AI could potentially be useful. I've never had a toaster that can make toast for the whole family - you can do 2 slices but then you have to wait several minutes for it to cool down before making the next otherwise the second batch will not be done. (I have used restaurant toasters that can do this, but they are not for home use)
- akdev1l 5mo agoUmm my toaster doesn’t have this problem and it’s not AI … why does this happen to you?
- mwigdahl 5mo agoYou wouldn't need AI for this; deterministic programming would be enough (and scads cheaper).
- bluGill 5mo agoOne would think, but...
- RugnirViking 5mo agoeven a kalman filter would be overkill for this. Just buy a toaster that isn't terrible, the calibre of hardware needed for this costs $0.02 for a pack of 10 - thats the level of cheapness needed to make a toaster that bad.
- venzaspa 5mo agoI have a Sage toaster (Brevile in some markets) which does exactly this, even has a progress bar that counts down when your toast will popup.
- watwut 5mo agoBoring cheap old school toasters can make as many toasts as you want. You dont cool them before making toasts, you warm them up and then do toasts.
- fl4regun 5mo agomy toasters have all been the opposite, once you warm it up with the first batch, the next batch actually gets more toasted than the first one, even with the same setting.
