It is a need-to-have within one's product offering, or else succumb to the loss of market share gobbled up by competitive offerings that say their products include it. Once the public gets over its fear of AI and learns of the benefits that can be derived from its inclusion in different products.
Imaging being about to tell an AI TV set..."Optimize tonight's tuning schedule to my preferred programs or genre, and program that into tonight's selections." Would you buy a TV that could not do that each night?!

Just think, we could have the TV arguing with itself as to which prompts to follow, rather than the current discussions (between my wife and I) about who should have custody of the remote. .
I'm content with the current "other shows you might like" recommendations we can currently access using our cable service provided, TiVo based system.

Will AI make real photography websites such as this irrelevant ?
The internet is flooded with manipulated images that go way above the average film or digital photographer.
Will we have cameras that have an AI mode?
The future does not look good.

In what world do those fake Ai images go "way above the average ..." ? Only in the fake world.

And yet, despite their failure to launch a competitive effort in the AI field, Apple remains staggeringly successful. And if they can ever realize it, I like the idea of on-device AI in which biometric and other personal data does not leave the device.

I don't have to imagine what an AI television set might be like: Services including Roon, Spotify, Prime Video and YouTube are all about maximizing "user engagement", while I am all about letting them know as little as possible about me .

AI is already tailoring ads to your ethnicity, age and income group.

AI in the hands of a skilled person can do quite well, better than a lot of humans.

Our cable TV service already knows which sports broadcasts we frequently watch (which specific team, without my indication of preference) and suggestions come onscreen to tune in ...I only have to press 'OK' on the remote!

No ethnicity info comes from me, nor age, nor income. Not AI...simply tracking cookies! Allows the web to send 'more of the same'
