Comment on Using the term ‘artificial intelligence’ in product descriptions reduces purchase intentions

  • Advanced fuzzy logic technology with AI (Artificial Intelligence) “learns” and adjusts the cooking cycle to get perfect results
  • Superior induction heating (IH) technology generates high heat and makes fine heat adjustments resulting in fluffier rice
  • "My Rice (49 Ways)" menu setting – Just input how the rice turned out, the rice cooker will make small changes to the cooking flow until it gets to the way you like it

  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.

  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.

    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”.
