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.

What a wonderful user experience! No rice is fine if connection is down, right?
