Another exciting one: Spicerr, the AI-powered spice dispenser. One could think it's satire, but apparently it can be seen at CES (article in german).

Oh and as a bonus, they seem to also go for a juicero-like business model where you should buy their spice capsules.

There's also a TV that uses ai to find recipes for the cooking shows that you're watching. And I'm 100% sure this tech won't be used for profiling and advertising 😉

I think this is what crypto bros think about themselves too.

To be fair all modern TVs already snitch on what you're watching even through antenna/HDMI
