Consumers across the country are reportedly confused as to why their newly purchased toasters need to integrate AI technology, sources confirm.
“Hey, I’m really just trying to make some toast,” said Frank Walker, who’d just upgraded his toaster after the old one he’d had forever finally fritzed out. “It keeps recommending different websites and recipes and stuff to me, and I really, really just need to make some toast. Is there a way to tell the company that makes this that nobody could possibly want these features?”
Though facing heavy criticism for its seemingly unnecessary use of Artificial Intelligence, executives that came up with the AI toaster defended it.
“This isn’t just a toaster, it’s so much more,” said Samsung CEO Han Jong-hee. “Think of it as a portal into the future of what is truly capable at breakfast. It’s time to reimagine what you thought was possible, while entrepreneurs and innovators like us disrupt the breakfast space and leave it better than we found it. Breakfast as you know it is about to get flipped on its head.”
