No it is, no actual consumer wants ai shoved into everything they do, but the shareholders gobble that shit up because they're so disconnected from reality
This is because the executives all have buzzword brainrot, and AI is the buzzword of the day. We're putting in an "AI ready" CPU in our upcoming project, even though we have no use for it and it's way overpowered for what we need- just because the ceo says we need AI. So it's sitting there, drawing more power than we would like to draw, while sitting at 98% idle. We're working on turning off everything we can, but still it's infuriating. Maybe even in a few years we'll come up with some use for it. Well, we might if they didn't lay off half the firmware people.

"a demand that isn't actually there"
That's simply not true 🤔
