      Toasters is, and always has been a better insult.

      It needs to be plugged in, temperature set, then a button to turn bread into toast.

      Basically calling a machine simple, single purposed, restrained, and relatively unconfigurable.

        It’s also a device that is demonstrably better without AI. So you’re essentially saying that they would be better as script driven assembly arms.

          Idk man.

          The AI could like take a voice recording, break it down, say sure thing! This is how you make a toasted turkey sandwich!

          Then refuse to toast your bread until it knows you put turkey, lettuce,tomato and mayo on the bread
