AI nowaday is like Bluetooth 20 years ago: they put it everywhere where it's almost never useful

I saw a Bluetooth toothbrush that send reports to your phone on how good you brushed your teeth, like wtf?!

It also send reports to they corporate overlords. Most probably anyway.

Oh I'm sure your health insurance would love to know the condition of your teeth to increase your rates.

EXACTLY! Hubby has one of those, that function got old pretty quickly.

My home assistant picked up my toothbrush, forgot it had that feature*

It does seem silly to me as well, but is it really any different from people who want personal data for their sleep habits or exercise habits?
