One-third of consumers don't want AI on their devices, report finds, and it's not because they don't understand it: They just don't need it (www.pcgamer.com)

The problem with AI isn't that it's not been clearly explained. The problem is, it sucks.

I’m in your boat. I don’t even change my clocks for DST anymore. It doesn’t really matter beyond a ballpark what time it is most of the time (and keeping to standard time means my animals’ schedules don’t get messed up every 6 months). If there’s an appointment or something that I need an actual time for, I have my phone with tons of alarm options so it’s fine.

I haven’t set my stove clock in ages, tho I get why it has one since I can program it to start at a certain time, but beyond that appliances shouldn’t even have always-on displays. What’s the purpose other than wasting electricity?
