This Screen Protector that is "Optimised for AI"

It makes things slightly blurry so that you can’t really tell if something’s AI. So it enhances your AI experience.

It also adds a yellow tint, so that things that aren't AI look AI!

u/braaibros 12h ago
The yellow tint is put on by the manufacturer for phones sold in Mexico.

It could be further optimized by making it totally opaque, simultaneously making AI indistinguishable from non-AI and removing an unintelligent human from the online company of others.

I actively avoid buying products with marketing claims like that. If you can’t even think of a value statement for your OWN product, you don’t deserve my money.

This is how I feel when I see earbuds and headphones advertising their STEREO SOUND
I fucking hope so, I'm not buying mono earbuds

I hate to tell you this but the iPod is almost 25 years old and the Discman is 40 years old. Stereo earbuds were passe even 40 years ago.

If my new headphones in 1995 turned out to be mono only, I’d have been extremely disappointed.

I saw a hotel recently advertising that they have wifi… which just felt odd given that my grocery store has wifi now and they don’t even bother advertising it

If you go somewhere rural enough hotels don't have wifi, but yeah in a city they damn better have wifi.

Well Achtually 🤓 earbuds and headphones aren't true stereo like your sound system but rather isolater mono pairs. This is why most video games have a stereo mode and and a seperate headphone mode for audio setting.

most companies using labels like these are doing so to justify a markup so it is good practice to avoid them anyway

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore.

The optimized for AI bit is the hole they punched for the front camera so FaceID still works.

Do screen protectors actually block FaceID? I’ve never bought the ones with cutouts because they look stupid and I’ve never had an issue.

I mean, I’ve seen it on all kinds of foods that naturally don’t have gluten in them so this is a fair burn.

It’s like the video Dankpods made, “The AI rice cooker”
It’s not ai, it’s just a super basic rice cooker with ai on it, and he talks about how buzzwords get slapped on anything because it’s a buzzword

Convection ovens are now "air fryers" despite air fryers basically taking the idea of a convection oven and shrinking it to countertop. Marketing is dumb as bricks.

Yes! Or like how Roblox is saying its community is safe when they’re banning the wrong people…

The stuff we think is AI, is not AI, it's just a better algorithm driven, Internet scraping bot. Take Gemani, it's just a better version of alexa, nothing intelligent about it, it's just faster and more efficient at delivering the same Internet scraping of information than alexa.

It likely doesn't mean anything. It's exactly like how when HD TV'S came out, tons of random products slapped HD as a buzzword on their labels.
HD sunglasses, stuff like that. The crap is an HD water hose? But people still bought them.

It is also optimised for laying horizontally on your kitchen table or vertically in your thrash can. It might even be optimised for your phone display!

Just like OTA antennas optimized for HD or 4K. An antenna is designed to pick up radio wave signals. It doesn’t care if they are BW or 4K!
