How does it determine better results? oO
That’s the problem with most marketing. Unspecific, raising questions rather than answering them. Being vague and only positive-formulated rather than presenting information.
Comment on Using the term ‘artificial intelligence’ in product descriptions reduces purchase intentions

Well that’s true. I was looking at a Zojirushi rice cooker
One of its selling point is: ‘Advanced fuzzy logic technology with AI (Artificial Intelligence) “learns” and adjusts the cooking cycle to get perfect results’
I immediately said no thanks and looked for another model without that, and probably cheaper. It’s a rice cooker FFS!

I mean, they wrote “learn” with quotation marks so… 🤷🏻♂️
More honest than many many “researchers”.

I swear there was a dishwasher or something in either Sims 1 or 2 that damn near this exact description.>
But zojirushi is a legitimately good brand and I’d apply an exception for them unless they became enshittified
I know that’s why I’m staying with that brand. I am just looking for another model, I probably don’t need all the fuss features of the top of the line model.
For what it’s worth, they’ve had a “Neuro Fuzzy” rice cooker (www.zojirushi.com/app/product/nszcc) for years—ours is at least 10 years old at this point. And, I would bet this is a trivial extension of that—using some decision tables supplemented with heat feedback—with only the addition of a user feedback mechanism, rather than any, true “AI”.

Based on the description the so-called “AI” simply adjusts time based on user feedback. That would be hilarious if not so sad as a marketing device.

So after it’s done you can adjust it’s cooking time, but instead of a cook time knob that you turn they try to pretend it’s AI?

Pretty much. But instead of adjusting it like “cook it for less/more time”, you say “it’s raw/mushy”. Or at least that what I think, based on the product info, but I might be wrong.
And… yeah, it’s all pretend. Just like “smart” some years ago.

It probably has the twin benefits of needing a crummy smartphone app and an internet connection though. Knobs lack these delights.
